GOP Rep. Alex Mooney is eager to contrast his congressional voting record against Sen. Joe Manchin's when the West Virginia Democrat runs for re-election in 2024.
"Manchin says one thing, then goes on to do another," said Mooney."Then he comes home to deep red West Virginia and makes excuses about how these were ‘hard votes.’ Well, he won't be able to do that against me, I've been in the House voting against Biden's 87,000 IRS agents and voting against new gun control laws."
Polls show that Manchin's approval rating has sunk since his decision to cast the key vote in favor of Biden's $739 billion Inflation Reduction Act in August. An October poll by Morning Consult found that 51% of West Virginia voters disapproved of Manchin, while 42% approved. A similar Morning Consult poll from April of this year had Manchin's approval rating at 57%.
Mooney's decision to jump into the race comes after his own easy victory for a fifth House term this November. Despite winning the general election, Mooney faced a tough primary challenge earlier in the year from fellow GOP Rep. David McKinley.
