47. The last Democrat to win West Virginia was Bill Clinton
Mon Oct 7, 2024, 07:07 PM
Oct 2024

The Republicans could run a Jeffery Epstein-Al Capone ticket and win West Virginia in 2024 even if the Democratic ticket was Jesus Christ and the owner of the biggest coal mine in West Virginia. To claim they're not going to approve the vote if the Democratic ticket wins is silly because the Democratic ticket won't win there anyway.
