New doc: As he challenges Sen. Shelley Moore Capito in #WVSEN, Derrick Evans, a former GOP state legislator who served time for participating in the #January6th attack on the Capitol, raised ~$240K in the first quarter of 2025 — w/ 84% coming from small-dollar donors docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/form...
ABC News is projecting that Jim Justice (R) has won #WVsen, as expected. That's Republicans' first flip in the Senate. They need only two to gain control.
With Joe Manchin's retirement, #WVsen is virtually guaranteed to go Republican in the fall. Which means... Senator Babydog.
Meanwhile, in his #WVsen comeback attempt as a Democrat, coal executive and convicted criminal Don Blankenship is getting just 17% of the vote.
10% of the expected vote reporting in #WVsen, and the AP has already called a winner: Gov. Jim Justice defeats Rep. Alex Mooney 61–28%. The tea party really wanted Mooney but Trump endorsed Justice and that was that.
It’s impossible to witness what we’re experiencing without #ClimateCrisis get involved.
Corrupt coal barons like @Sen_JoeManchin and @JimJusticeWV never cared about our environment and preserved the landscape for the next generations.
We need Zach in the Senate. #WVSen
We'll also have polling averages for primaries that have enough polling. Right now, that's #CAsen, #OHsen (R), and #WVsen (R). abcnews.go.com/538/538s-new...
Good point from @rubashkin.bsky.social : Manchin's departure from #WVsen may be good news for Alex Mooney, since establishment Rs may not care to intervene in the primary on Jim Justice's behalf anymore. www.insideelections.com/news/article...
