West Virginia’s 2024 Republican clown car just got another passenger
The vehicle is filling up quickly even though the election is two years away
From earlier today:
Stay tuned for an exciting announcement!

Here’s what Riley Moore will likely discuss at tomorrow’s stenographer conference:
His humble beginnings and how he paid for his education working as a welder.
His brave fight against ESG investment and “woke capitalism.”
What Riley Moore will not mention (nor will you find on his resume):
Anything about his four years working for convicted felon Paul Manafort as a lobbyist for the Russian-backed Ukrainian government that preceded Volodymyr Zelensky. (See here.)
Anything about his 2018 connections to the West Virginia dark-money 1863 PAC.
(A special tip-of-the-Wheeling-Alternative-hat to any West Virginia stenographer/reporter who, in the next two years, asks Moore about either of these points.)
Paging Patrick Morrisey: I believe you're up next.
*Charleston Democratic Delegate Kayla Young speculates that she “can nearly guarantee that Riley Moore will announce a run for Congress (#WV02) on a platform of coal and energy independence pushing an agenda of federal anti-ESG policy.”
