Pennsylvania: Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. Recovering from Cancer Surgery: Sen. Bob Casey, Jr’s. (D) office staff released a statement indicating that the Senator’s surgery for prostate cancer is complete and doctors at least preliminarily believe he will need no further treatment. Sen. Casey previously said he hopes to run for re-election to a third term so long as his health responds. With early indications being positive, it is likely the Senator will be back on the ballot in 2024.
West Virginia: New Poll Finds Gov. Jim Justice Topping Sen. Manchin: Mountain State Gov. Jim Justice (R) has been leaning toward challenging Sen. Joe Manchin (D) next year, and a new poll will likely add fuel to his fire. The Tarrance Group, polling for the Senate Leadership Fund (2/5-7; 609 WV registered voters, including an oversample of 100 likely Republican primary voters; live interview), projects Gov. Justice leading Sen. Manchin by a substantial ten-point margin, 52-42%. Testing the other known potential Republican candidates, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and US Rep. Alex Mooney (R-Charles Town), the results prove very different. Against each of these Republicans, Sen. Manchin holds a lead. If AG Morrisey were to return for a re-match from their 2018 campaign (Manchin won 50-46%), the Senator would be staked to a reversed 52-42% advantage. He would fare better opposite Rep. Mooney. In this pairing, Sen. Manchin’s margin would be an even stronger 55-40%. At this point, Rep. Mooney has announced his Senate candidacy. Mr. Morrisey says he is looking at the Senate race, along with Governor, Rep. Mooney’s open congressional seat, or running for re-election. Gov. Justice is reportedly nearing a decision. Comments are closed.
