Incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin defeated his Republican challenger, Patrick Morrisey, the state attorney general, in the West Virginia Senate race on Tuesday. In his victory speech, Manchin slammed President Donald Trump for not being able to use his power unseat him. Trump visited the state multiple times to stump for Morrisey, and several other White House officials and Trump family members campaigned against Manchin. CHARLESTON, West Virginia — Minutes after securing reelection Tuesday night, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin took a harsher tone against President Donald Trump, blasting him for the failure of his Republican challenger, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, an ardent White House ally. Manchin barbed the president for not being able to get Morrisey over the finish line despite the state having voted for Trump by a margin of more than 40 points in 2016. "Let me say that I never expected that this race would be the national race it turned out to be," Manchin said in his victory speech. "I never expected President Trump to come to this state as much as he did, sending Vice President Pence, sending his family, time after time. And you stood tall. "What you said, what West Virginia said, loud and clear tonight: 'Mr. President, we want our senator, not your senator,'" Manchin added.
