The TAKE with Rick Klein
Some races are less about which party will be in control than they are about who controls which party.
By that measure, Republican primary voters delivered conflicting messaging on Tuesday in a pair of states that former President Donald Trump carried comfortably in 2020. Trump got a big victory in West Virginia -- yet also saw his candidate decisively defeated in the governor’s race in Nebraska.
In West Virginia, where a pair of Republican House members were forced to run against each other, one backed the infrastructure law and a Jan. 6 commission. The other got Trump’s endorsement and romped despite a much thinner record in the state, riding MAGA momentum over the candidate backed by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
