Congressman Alex Mooney’s run for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate just got more difficult. Mooney said this week he does not believe he will get the endorsement of Donald Trump, according to CNN.
Mooney is in a race with Governor Jim Justice for a chance to fill the seat now held by Democrat Joe Manchin.
A poll of Republican and Independent voters in West Virginia released by the state Chamber of Commerce earlier this month found Justice favored by 56 percent of those questioned while only 19 percent backed Mooney.
