MARTINSBURG, W.VA. A former coal CEOs post-prison rise is scrambling the GOP battle to unseat Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.).
Don Blankenship, released from jail less than a year ago, now appears to be within striking distance of the partys nomination.
Strategists and even his primary opponents acknowledge hes managed to turn an expected showdown between Rep. Evan Jenkins (W.Va.) and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey into a three-way fight with roughly a month to go until the May 8 primary election.
It is a weird little race right now, [but] its looking like a legitimate three-person race, said a national GOP strategist who is monitoring the Senate fight.

Blankenship seems like your standard Trump Republican.
