West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Republican, said Tuesday that he is likely “ready” for a new position in 2024, adding to growing speculation that he may enter the state’s Senate race in an attempt to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin.
In a letter to supporters headlined “Big news coming,” Morrisey, who has represented the state as attorney general since 2013, wrote, “I’m ready for these new fights — and likely a new position in 2025 — because I am already leading in the arena and regularly beating back the Biden agenda.”
