West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice ditches Democratics, joins Republicans

Source: UPI

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced he will switch parties, leaving the Democrats and joining the Republicans.

"The Democrats walked away from me," Justice said at a rally in Huntington, W. Va. With President Donald Trump in attendance. "Today I will tell you, with lots of prayers and lots of thinking, I can't help you anymore being a Democrat governor. So tomorrow I will be changing my registration to Republican."

The strategy helped him beat his Republican opponent, Bill Cole, by 7 percent of the vote.
