Republicans surged to victories up and down West Virginia ballots on Election Day.
“Everybody is on Cloud 9,” Melody Potter, the West Virginia GOP chairwoman, said during MetroNews’ Election Night coverage.
The wins included another enormous margin by President Trump in West Virginia, along with Republican victories in each and every executive branch office and expanded GOP majorities in the House of Delegates and state Senate.
One of those victories was by Republican Riley Moore, who defeated six-term incumbent Treasurer John Perdue, a Democrat who had served in the office since 1997.
Democrats, long the dominant party in West Virginia, had held the seat almost a century until Moore’s win. Riley Moore
“A Republican hasn’t won this seat in 92 years. It’s the longest drought in terms of the Republican Party in a win in West Virginia state history,” said Moore, a former state Delegate who is the grandson of former Gov. Arch Moore and nephew of Senator Shelley Moore Capito.
That was the kind of Election Night the Republicans had in West Virginia.
Republican incumbents also won for governor, attorney general, auditor, secretary of state and agriculture commissioner — a sweep.
GOP dominance started at the top of the ticket, where President Donald Trump again won the state handily.

Who cares ya spaz? It’s WVa. Freepers don’t know?
So in summary, Republicans now control EVERY SINGLE state elective office in West Virginia from the Governor on down and control both houses of the legislature with veto proof super majorities. And for that matter ever federal office as well with the one exception of Democrat Joe Manchin’s senate seat. I actually wouldn’t be shocked if Manchin switched parties now that it’s clear that democrats aren’t going to win back a Senate majority in 2020. Joe realizes that with way West Virginia is trending, he’s the last of an endangered species, he can get onboard the red train or lose in 2024.
Yep.
See what happens when you f*** with Coal Miners.
Aren’t there coal miners in Va? They must be women.
Manchin is a left-winger who voted for impeachment. Eff him. He should resign, he doesn’t represent WV, he represents Sinator Schmucky Choomer.
There should be a movement for(parts of) Southern Virginia to merge with West Virginia.
Give WV more electoral votes while stripping the remaining NOVA of power
my county is Red and trounced both RATS in the state and federal house races, but nyc still voted bidenRAT so...
Tell us about it when you dump phony Joe Manchin.
There in one blotch on the list - a certain senator who spoils the broth!!!
Joe Manchin now needs to go. It’s really disappointing they re-elected him again last time around and we are stuck with him until at least 2024.
If Joe and the Ho try to hammer their Green New deal horse crap down the nation’s throats, will Manchin finally pull a Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords and switch parties?
