The sway of Donald Trump and his endorsement is in the spotlight again this week during primaries in Nebraska and West Virginia.
On May 10, Nebraska voters will pick nominees for governor and a new congressman, while two incumbent congressmen in West Virginia are facing off in a Republican primary after redistricting cost the state a seat in the U.S. House.
Meanwhile, enthusiasm for Trump remains high in West Virginia, where he prevailed in every county in 2016 and 2020. Trump has endorsed incumbent Rep. Alex Mooney, who voted against President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill.Many are waiting to see how Trump’s endorsement affects the crowded race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in the Cornhusker State.
The winner is expected to face Sen. Carol Blood, who is all but certain to win the Democratic nomination for governor over a little-known candidate who hasn't actively campaigned. The race pits two incumbent congressmen against each other after redistricting cost the state a seat in the U.S. House. One congressman voted against President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill — and won Trump’s support — while the other voted with Democrats.
