In West Virginia, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R) is the most likeable moderate Republican you're going to get in that now blood-red, permanent Republican stronghold. The other Republicans there are truly awful, hope she's re-elected in 2026 and doesn't get primaried!! πŸ™πŸ’™

Highly doubtful Senator Shelley Moore Capito will be primaried out of office. For starters, she hasn't done anything to really piss off Trump. She supported all his Supreme Court justice nominees, especially at the point when she was in favor of pushing through a vote to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Second, Moore Capito got 83% of the votes in the 2020 primary whereas each of her GOP challengers then got less than 10% of the votes. There's little she has done to dampen her popularity with West Virginians, especially GOP voters.
