2024 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the May 14 Republican primary for U.S. Senate in West Virginia as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Seven candidates are running in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in West Virginia. Two candidates lead in local media attention, endorsements, polling, and fundraising: Jim Justice (R) and Alexander Mooney (R).
Justice is the state's governor and a former businessman. Justice is running on his record, saying he signed the largest tax cut in state history, restrictions on abortion, and reductions in firearms regulations into law.[2] Justice says Mooney has a poor record of performance in Congress. Justice's campaign manager called Mooney "the only RINO [Republican in name only] in this race...insignificant and ineffective."[3] Justice's endorsers include former President Donald Trump (R), five senators, and the West Virginia Coal Association.
Mooney is a member of the U.S. House. Mooney says he is running "to continue defending West Virginia’s conservative values and ensuring that our state continues to be a wonderful place to raise a family."[4] Mooney says Justice is a liberal: "Jim Justice is Joe Manchin 2.0. They're basically the same...Why accept a liberal Republican when you can have a true conservative, especially with Joe Manchin now retiring?"[5] Mooney's endorsers include three senators, one U.S. representative, 16 state legislators, and the Senate Conservatives Fund.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the Club for Growth are supporting different candidates.[3] The NRSC has endorsed Justice and the Club for Growth has endorsed Mooney. According to CNN, the "Club for Growth has planned to go head-to-head with the NRSC over candidates they believe are insufficiently conservative on fiscal issues, even as GOP leaders are focused on finding the most electable Republican."[6]
Also running in the primary are Bryan Bird (R), Zane Lawhorn (R), Don Lindsay (R), Bryan McKinney (R), and Janet McNulty (R).
Incumbent Joe Manchin III (D) is not running for re-election, leaving the seat open. Manchin is the only Democrat who has won a statewide election in West Virginia since 2016. As of May 13, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales, and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Safe/Solid Republican.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[130] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[131] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race background
Ballotpedia rated the race for West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District seat as “simmering” because Mooney, who was accused of being a “carpetbagger” for moving from Maryland to West Virginia to run for Congress, had to win over voters who knew little about the outsider.[150] According to Roll Call, “many local and national Republicans are concerned about the GOP’s ability to hold the seat in November.”[150] His opponent, Nick Casey, was a well-connected, native West Virginian who had more cash on hand than Mooney, and more than 80 percent of the money he raised came from in-state donors.[151] It was rated a "Leans Republican" contest by Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call.[152]

Mooney formed an exploratory committee in early December to prepare for a run, if Bartlett retired; however, Mooney decided not to run in 2012.[1][1]
