Victorious U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W. Va., who played up his endorsement by Trump throughout the campaign, also attacked fellow Rep. David McKinley for his support of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package opposed by most Republican lawmakers.
“West Virginia deserves a true conservative in Congress," Mooney said before a telephone town hall with Trump last week.
The Associated Press called the race for Mooney about two hours after West Virginia polls closed.
The two GOP congressmen faced off in a new district created because the state's population loss caused West Virginia to lose one of its previous three U.S. House seats.
Trump endorsed Mooney back in November, citing the congressman's vote against the "horrendous" infrastructure bill and his opposition to creation of a special committee to investigate the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021.
