The West Virginia Senate primary is May 14.
When Zach Shrewsbury started campaigning, he was running against reactionary Democrat Joe Manchin, who has since announced he isn’t running for reelection. At that point, another special interest, corporate-backed right-of-center Democrat, Glenn Elliott, jumped into the race against Shrewsbury. On Monday, as expected, Manchin endorsed Elliott.
And if you want to see another senator just like Joe Manchin, Elliott’s the man.
For anyone who hasn’t been following Manchin’s shameless career in the Senate, let me remind you of a few highlights:
Manchin spent the Trump years always on the verge of switching parties. He supported the Trump position just over 50% of the time, more than any other Democrat in the Senate. He was the only Democrat to vote to confirm Jeff Sessions Attorney General and one of only two Democrats to vote to confirm corrupt Climate Change denier Scott Pruitt as head of the EPA.
