Governor Jim Justice Endorses Moore Capito for Governor in West Virginia

Former delegate Moore Capito’s gubernatorial campaign received a significant boost with Governor Jim Justice’s endorsement. Justice announced his support for Capito during a recent briefing, stating that he believes Capito is the candidate who can continue the successes of his administration. The endorsement comes at a crucial time in the race, with Capito surging in the polls and closing in on front-runner Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.

Governor Justice’s endorsement is seen as a game-changer in the race, as he is a popular figure in West Virginia politics. Capito, the son of Senator Shelley Moore Capito, expressed gratitude for Justice’s support and vowed to take the state to the next level if elected governor.

However, Morrisey’s campaign remains confident in their candidate’s chances, dismissing Capito as a “liberal son of a Senator” and emphasizing Morrisey’s strong support among West Virginia Republicans. The race is heating up as the candidates gear up for the primary and general elections, with all three leading candidates boasting significant campaign funds to support their efforts.

As the campaign continues to unfold, the endorsement from Governor Justice has added a new dynamic to the race, setting the stage for a competitive and closely watched gubernatorial election in West Virginia. Stay tuned for updates as the candidates make their final push towards election day.
