The2024 West Virginia gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect thegovernor of West Virginia, concurrently with the2024 U.S. presidential election, as well aselections to theUnited States Senate and elections to theUnited States House of Representatives, and variousstate and local elections.Republican stateAttorney GeneralPatrick Morrisey was elected to his first term in office after defeatingDemocraticHuntington mayorSteve Williams in the general election.[1] Incumbent RepublicanJim Justice was term-limited and was unable to seek re-election to a third consecutive term in office; he insteadran for the U.S. Senate.[2]

First elected in2016 as a Democrat by 6.8 percentage points, Justice switched parties in August 2017 and won re-election in2020 as a Republican by 33.3 percentage points. Primary elections took place on May 14, 2024.[3] This is the first time since1972 that Republicans won consecutive gubernatorial elections in the state. However, Morrisey performed worse than Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who outperformed Morrisey by 7.98 percentage points. Meanwhile, Williams outperformed Kamala Harris by 3.48 percentage points. Williams, Harris, Biden, and Salango, all failed to carry a single county in their respective general election races.

Background

[edit]

Aconservative rural southeastern state, West Virginia is consideredextremely Republican at the federal and state levels; Republicans hold all statewide executive offices and supermajorities in both state legislative houses, and from 2015 until he became an Independent in 2024, Senator Joe Manchin had been the state's only congressional Democrat. In the2020 presidential election,Donald Trump carried West Virginia by 38.93 percentage points.

With Jim Justice term-limited and unable to run for a third consecutive term as Governor, the Republican primary was expected to be competitive and crowded. Most analysts considered Republicans to be a heavy favorite, given the state's partisan lean and the margin from the previous election.[4]
