Ted Cruz Backs Alex Mooney in West Virginia

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is throwing his support behind Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) in what’s shaping up to be a high-profile GOP primary race to see which Republican will take on Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in 2024,” Fox News reports.

“Mooney is the only major Republican candidate in the race so far, but allies of Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell have made it clear they want West Virginia’s Republican governor, Jim Justice, to run as well. Justice was a Democrat until 2017, when he announced himself as a Republican during a rally with former President Donald Trump.”
