He was one of a multitude of candidates running to take on Joe Manchin. He barely beat Don Blankenship, the coal baron who served a year in jail for the deaths of 29 miners in one of his badly maintained coal mines. Jenkins didn't get the nomination; that went to the Attorney General who's wife lobbies for one of the big drug firms that dumped millions of opioid pills in West Virginia.

I think Joe's going to win. I hope Joe's going to win!
