There’s a reason why you can count the number of conservatives in the Senate on your hand, as most GOP senators make House Republicans look like the founding fathers. Even in the reddest states where Democrats are nothing but a token opposition, the GOP establishment immediately anoints the next-in-line corporatist with the most name recognition.

Many thought that Trump would even the playing field for our candidates, but so far, thanks to a slew of terrible endorsements recommended by Lindsey Graham, the opposite has proven true. Will he continue his RINO endorsement streak in West Virginia?

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice was a Democrat for the first 66 years of his life. On every issue that actually matters, he still is a Democrat. However, in 2017, Justice formally changed parties because the Democrat brand turned to dirt in the Mountain State. Unfortunately, rather than becoming a zealous adherent to the principles of freedom established in the party platform, as one would expect from a sincere convert to a cause, Justice has not changed on policy one iota.

There is not a single issue on which Justice would be with us in the Senate – from green energy and unbridled spending to Ukraine, medical freedom, and social issues. The sum total of the Senate GOP sentiment is America last.

In fact, as governor, Justice even supported Biden’s signature $1 trillion infrastructure bill, which remade our energy, transportation, and infrastructure based on woke policies, green energy, and the surveillance state.

In the past, Justice, like many red-state RINOs seeking instant ingratiation with the GOP base, has secured Trump’s endorsement. He has already stated that he reached out to Trump for an endorsement for Senate. He faces House Freedom Caucus member Alex Mooney, who has served several terms and now represents half of the state. It would be indefensible for Trump to endorse Justice over Mooney. There is quite literally zero difference between Joe Manchin (assuming he seeks re-election) and Jim Justice, so we lose the seat the minute Justice wins the primary.
