Republican Jim Justice Wins Senate Seat in West Virginia, Taking Seat from Democrats

(Worthy Insights) – The results are in for West Virginia’s U.S. Senate race between Republican Gov. Jim Justice and Democrat Glenn Elliot. Justice has been declared the winner which means Republicans could be on track to take control of the Senate.

Before today’s election, Democrats controlled the Senate with a breakdown of 51-49. With the Justice win, that moves the Senate to a 50-50 split.

With West Virginia trending toward being a reliable red state, incumbent Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin had chosen not to run for reelection this year. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
