Voters across Maryland and West Virginia are deciding key primary elections Tuesday with big implications in the fight for the Senate majority this fall.
FILE- A voter arrives to cast their ballot in the midterm elections, Nov. 8, 2022, at Southside Elementary School in Huntington, W.Va. Voters are casting primary ballots in West Virginia , a heavily Republican state that's filled with open seats this election year, drawing multiple competitive primaries. Primary day is Tuesday.
Trone, the co-founder of the Total Wine & More national liquor store chain, has put more than $61 million of his own money into the race. That's just shy of the national record for self-funding a Senate campaign, with much of it going to a months-long TV ad blitz. The three-term congressman says he’s better positioned to beat Hogan in November as a progressive Democrat not beholden to special interests.
The Trump-endorsed Justice, a former billionaire with a folksy personality that’s made him wildly popular in the state, is the front-runner against Mooney and five other lesser-known Republicans. A former Democrat, Justice switched to the Republican Party in 2017. He announced the change at a Trump rally.
“I really did an exhaustive study of the sample ballot of who I believe supported Trump and Trump supported them,” said Ervin, who works in the state’s unemployment office. “That’s what I made my whole decision on.”Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the Republican nominee in the 2018 Senate race against Manchin, is running for the Republican nomination. He’s up against former state Rep. Moore Capito, whose mother is Sen. Shelley Moore Capito.
