Tbh I'm wondering why they didn't seriously target WV-02 in 2018. Mooney is a blatant carpetbagger who only won by 3 in 2014 and 16 in 2016, far underperforming Capito and Trump. They ran Hillary's former state director and only lost by 11 even though the race got zero attention and Trump won the district by over 35. Democrats actually have a solid bench of state legislators in the district. If they'd run an Ojeda or Manchin type this could very well have been another OK-05.
I'm thinking any Democratic revival in WV starts in this area.
The reason is because they were smitten with Richard Ojeda in WV-03.
