Voters in West Virginia on Tuesday will sort through a most unusual and particularly vicious primary.
The TAKE with Rick Klein
They might be the nation's most influential Democrat and most powerful Republican -- and this showdown carries implications inside and outside the red state where it's playing out.
Voters in West Virginia on Tuesday will sort through a most unusual and particularly vicious primary. Because the state lost a congressional seat, two incumbent GOP House members are running against each other -- one with the support of former President Donald Trump, the other with the backing of Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
Manchin's pick, Rep. David McKinley, has been under siege for a few notable votes where he joined Democrats. That list includes support of the bipartisan infrastructure bill -- a boon to rural and impoverished West Virginia, as championed by Manchin -- and a failed bid to create an independent Jan. 6 commission.
