Republican Primary Race for U.S. Senate: Alex Mooney vs. Gov. Jim Justice

In the race for the U.S. Senate seat in West Virginia, Congressman Alex Mooney is making a bold claim as the only true conservative running in the Republican primary against Governor Jim Justice. Mooney has been vocal in his criticism of Justice, referring to him as a “liberal Republican” and even comparing him to Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, whom they are both looking to replace.

Despite polls showing Governor Justice with a significant lead over Mooney in the primary, Mooney remains confident in his conservative values and believes that West Virginia voters deserve a conservative U.S. Senator. He has also received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, who has a strong following in the state.

Mooney’s unwavering stance in the race has led to speculation about whether he will pull out, but he has made it clear that he is in it to win it. Governor Justice, on the other hand, has suggested that Mooney should drop out of the race, citing his strong support among likely Republican voters.

As the primary race heats up, West Virginia voters will have to decide between the establishment-backed Governor Justice and the self-proclaimed true conservative Congressman Mooney. The outcome of this race could have significant implications for the future of the state and its representation in Washington.
