What’s West Virginia’s Trump Party been doing lately?
And have they emptied their pitcher of Kool-Aid, yet?
Governor-elect Patrick Morrisey
Yes, Patrick, we may soon learn how following RFK Jr’s advice on health will make everyone healthier:
Make West Virginia and America Healthy Again! Enjoyed spending some time today with @RobertKennedyJr. #MAHA Today, I start my journey to get back into shape again. #Morrisey #WVGovernor pic.twitter.com/HitKLYl5HU

Senator Shelley Moore Capito
Why does this not make me feel better?
U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said Thursday that she will thoroughly review the qualifications of incoming President Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and laid out what she sees as priorities for the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate next year.https://t.co/H3bRPrmATE

Soon-to-be-Senator Jim Justice
I think WV actually voted for Babydog:
Thank you, @SpeakerJohnson! @BabydogJustice and I look forward to visiting with you very soon. https://t.co/WuiTUNU08t
— Jim Justice (@JimJusticeWV) November 14, 2024
Unfortunately, she won't get to vote:
Incoming Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) was informed that his bulldog, Babydog, a beloved fixture at West Virginia events, won’t be allowed on the Senate floor during legislative sessions.https://t.co/H0JYeJ7R0Q pic.twitter.com/JT6i2wz5PX

This probably means that, given Justice’s attendance record as Governor, the state will be underrepresented much of the time.
Senator Joe Manchin
Yes, because this will certainly make up for your last four years:
NEWS: Joe Manchin is open to confirming Democratic judges who get NO GOP support, he told me today.
— Stephen Neukam (@stephen_neukam) November 14, 2024
He previously pledged to only vote for nominees who can get at least one Republican vote.
"We're in different times right now" he told me.https://t.co/qUw8AadcaF
(Note -- Manchin is not a full member of the Trump Party. Since 2021, however, he has held an associate membership.)
