"No matter what he decides to run for, Patrick Morrisey will be the candidate to beat," West Virginia State Sen. Patricia Rucker told Fox News ahead of the announcement."Patrick has demonstrated in all of the years I have known him that he is a fierce fighter, committed to his principles, and leadership like his is exactly what we need."
When asked what would make him a better candidate should he decide to challenge Manchin a second time, Morrisey told Fox last year:"I think that the threats from the Biden administration against our freedoms are things that are fundamental to our state and our nation, and I'm out in front leading against them, fighting against them right now."
"If I were to go into the U.S. Senate, we'd be ready on day one to take on the woke culture, to lead against the Green New Deal, to make sure that we're keeping deadly fentanyl out of our communities," he added."Those are the things I'm doing now, and it would be a very, very smooth transition to advance those initiatives out of the U.S. Senate."
