The current governor of West Virginia, Jim Justice, changed party from D to R the day he was sworn in.
WV is a textbook “both parties suck” case of corporate capture. And that’s in communities where voting is accessible. Not one where the voters are disenfranchised, the election infrastructure is deliberately neglected, and the parties just parachute in candidates to rotten districts.
Kentucky also has a Democrat in the governor’s mansion. We’re still waiting to hear how this will save the state from Trumpism
I feel like West Virginia needs to embrace the ways of their four fathers and start shooting politicians and corpo dogs. At the very least WV is close enough to worst case scenario that it probably can’t make things much worse at this point.
And they’ll still vote red.
Looking at you Tennessee. Should have done better in the special election
Yeah they go hungry, and can’t afford healthcare, but at least the president hates immigrants just as much as they do. You have to puck your battles

Kentucky has had a Democratic governor since he beat the carpetbagger Republican incumbent during Trump’s first term.
But the General Assembly is overwhelmingly Republican (86% in the senate, 80% in the house), so his effectiveness is limited.
