GOP Rep. Alex Mooney defeated fellow GOP Rep. David McKinley in a West Virginia primary, prevailing with former President Donald Trump's support in a rare race featuring two incumbents.
Mooney and McKinley were thrown into the same district in 2022 after West Virginia lost a congressional seat following the 2020 Census. McKinley tagged Mooney, a former Maryland state senator and party chair there, as a carpetbagger and attacked him over an ethics investigation, while Mooney highlighted his Trump endorsement and cast McKinley as insufficiently conservative, including for supporting the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure package.
McKinley is the first member of Congress to lose reelection in 2022. See here for more West Virginia primary results.
