How West Virginias Governor Race Became a Battle of AntiTrans Extremes

In the lead-up to the West Virginia gubernatorial primary elections, GOP candidates have engaged in a race to prove their anti-trans credentials, prioritizing this over pressing voter concerns like the economy and healthcare. Patrick Morrisey, the current attorney general, and Moore Capito, a former state legislator, are the frontrunners, with Chris Miller and Mac Warner trailing behind. Despite sharing similar stances on guns and immigration, they have distinguished themselves through aggressive anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.
