About this race
By: DDHQ Automation
In the upcoming Senate election in West Virginia on November 5, 2024, voters will see two distinct candidates vying for the seat. Jim Justice, the incumbent Governor, a 73-year-old businessman and Marshall University alumnus, is the Republican nominee. On the other hand, Glenn Elliot, is a real estate broker and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.
Currently, the United States Senate is composed of 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In West Virginia, the demographic breakdown is 93% Non-Hispanic White. Black residents made up 4% of the population.
In previous elections, West Virginia has shown a clear preference, with Donald Trump winning both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections by margins of 42.0% and 38.9%, respectively. On the other hand, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, the incumbent, won the 2018 Senate race by a margin of 3.3%. However, Manchin is not running for re-election. Given these historical results and the lack of an incumbent seeking re-election, the outcome of the upcoming Senate race in West Virginia is likely to be a foregone conclusion, with Justice expected to win easily.
