• West Virginia Republican Governor Jim Justice is set to announce a 2024 campaign for the seat held by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), according to multiple reports.
• An invitation teases a “special announcement” at Justice’s Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs on Thursday at 5 p.m. Sources told local CBS affiliate WOWK 13 News and POLITICO that Justice plans to announce his Senate bid at that event, which is taking place on his 72nd birthday, but that plan could change at the last minute.
• Justice, a wealthy coal tycoon, was elected governor in 2016 as a Democrat.
