West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, who is also a U.S. Senate candidate, is set to speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday, accompanied by his loyal companion Babydog. Justice secured the Republican U.S. Senate nomination with over 60% of the party’s votes, defeating challenger Rep. Alex Mooney. He will now face off against Wheeling Mayor Glenn Elliott for Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin’s seat in the upcoming election.
This announcement from Justice comes on the heels of his remarks urging for an end to violence and hate in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President and Presidential nominee Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. During a press conference, Justice emphasized the need to stop the acceptance of violence and intolerance in society.
Reflecting on the incident, Governor Justice expressed gratitude for narrowly avoiding the loss of a dear friend and the potential loss of a future President of the United States. The incident has prompted calls for unity and a crackdown on violence in American society.
Justice’s upcoming speech at the RNC is likely to touch on these themes of unity and tolerance, as he addresses the nation with Babydog by his side. Viewers can watch his remarks at approximately 7:15 p.m. as the event enters its second day.
