The election results for several high-stakes primaries in West Virginia have been finalized. Governor Jim Justice, backed by Trump, secured the GOP nomination for Senate by a significant margin.

He will face Democrat Mayor Glenn Elliott in the Senate race, vying for the seat currently held by Democrat Joe Manchin.

In another key race in West Virginia, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey emerged victorious in a competitive field of Republicans aiming to succeed Governor Justice. Morrisey is set to go head-to-head with uncontested Democrat Steve Williams in the upcoming November elections.

Over in Maryland, former Republican Governor Larry Hogan clinched the Senate primary with a substantial lead on the Republican side. He is slated to compete against Prince George County Executive Brooks in the general election, despite being outspent significantly during the primary campaign.
