The 2018 midterms will be contentious on both the House and Senate sides. But President Trump has singled out one state in particular to focus his energy. And it is a state that he won by more than 40 points.
According to The Hill:
President Trump is making Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) a top target this fall, underlining his drive to protect the GOP’s Senate majority even it if means going after a relatively friendly Democrat.
Trump told Republican senators in a closed-door meeting Tuesday that he plans to spend significant time campaigning against Manchin, who represents a state won by the president over Hillary Clinton by 42 points.
One GOP senator said Trump promised to visit the state “several times.”
The president touted his popularity in Manchin’s state, even joking about moving there if he loses reelection in 2020.
The midterms will be interesting to watch, especially this race that is unfolding in West Virginia.
