GOP leaders are encouraging West Virginia Governor Jim Justice to run against Manchin in 2024.
Manchin's reelection was a much closer race in 2018 when he won against Republican Patrick Morrisey by roughly 19,000 votes.
"West Virginia is becoming redder each year," Burton said."If Governor Justice decides to run for U.S. Senate, he will have strong backing from the voters in West Virginia and national Republicans are ready to support his campaign." If Justice and Manchin decide to run for the seat, David Washington, a political strategist for PoliticalVIP, believes Justice could serve as a strong challenger to Manchin, specifically because of Manchin's failure to ensure the Mountain Valley Pipeline.on Friday that Manchin attempted to pass a bill that would finalize construction for the Mountain Valley Pipeline through West Virginia. The natural gas pipeline system is roughly 94 percent complete, according to its website.
"Republicans don't see a reason why they don't keep control of the house and West Virginia is the pathway to get control of the senate, so [Manchin's] got to go," Washington said.
