Outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin Endorses Glenn Elliott for West Virginia Senate Seat

Outgoing U.S. Senator Joe Manchin endorses Wheeling Mayor Glenn Elliott in the Democratic primary race for his Senate seat in West Virginia. Manchin praised Elliott’s determination and record of creating jobs and revitalizing the city. With Manchin not seeking reelection in 2024, the race for his seat becomes crucial for Democrats in the deep-red state. Elliott faces tough competition in the primary but is determined to fight for West Virginia’s interests in Washington. The endorsement comes at a time when political divisions are deepening, and West Virginians feel ignored by Washington. Elliott’s bipartisan approach and support for economic development align with President Joe Biden’s agenda, making him a strong contender for the Senate seat. The race for Manchin’s seat will be closely watched as it could determine the future of Democratic representation in West Virginia.
