Just five months off the race of his life, Joe Manchin is mulling a run for governor in 2020
against GOP Gov. Jim Justice.
A gubernatorial campaign would be something different altogether since Trump will be on the ballot again. But Manchin said it’s “going to be very difficult for [Justice] no matter who runs against him.”Sign Up Manchin would still be a senator if he lost. But if he were to win, there would be significant political implications. Manchin is widely considered the only Democrat who can possibly hold a Senate seat in deep red West Virginia. If he won, he could appoint a successor, although only until the next regularly scheduled midterm election, according to West Virginia. That could limit the upside to Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s caucus size in future years.
“Campaigns [are] the best part of politics. Can’t be any tougher than what I came through, an off-year election when they concentrated all their money against you,” Manchin said.
