AP Decision Notes: What to expect in West Virginia’s primaries
- On Tuesday, West Virginia voters head to the polls for a primary election serving as a critical test of Governor Patrick Morrisey's political sway two years into his term.
- The primary acts as a referendum on Morrisey, who has aggressively targeted Republican incumbents he deems disloyal, branding them "RINOs" to reshape the state legislature's supermajorities.
- U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito faces five challengers in her primary bid, backed by 15 state senators, while Morrisey supports opposing legislative candidates, creating internal party friction.
- Outside money from Utah, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wall Street has flooded the state, with Morrisey spearheading efforts to influence races and solidify his preferred legislative alignment.
- With 175 days remaining until the midterms, today's results will determine the Republican Party's trajectory heading into the 2026 general election contests.
