The Republican primary for the West Virginia Senate race is heating up as different factions of the GOP take sides between the top contenders.
While Gov. Jim Justice is widely seen as the leading contender on the GOP side, the race received increased attention after Rep. Alex Mooney announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination.Mooney recently picked up the endorsement from the Club for Growth, which described the congressman as a"conservative champion."
The group has also reportedly pledged $10 million to help the West Virginia congressman for his primary. Justice, who has not declared his candidacy, is reportedly being pushed by Sen. Steve Daines , who is chairing the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell .
“Justice would be the runaway favorite in both the primary and general election," Torunn Sinclair said.
