"Jim Justice's Senate Bid Shakes Up West Virginia Politics"

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has filed paperwork to run for the US Senate seat currently held by Democrat Joe Manchin, who has not yet announced whether he will seek re-election in 2024. Justice, a Democrat-turned-Republican, is viewed favorably by about 66% of West Virginians based on job performance, making him a formidable challenger to Manchin. A GOP poll conducted in February found that Justice would be Manchin's most formidable opponent if he does run again. However, Manchin's campaign released a statement on Thursday promising that he would "win any race" he enters.
