Richard Ojeda made the election in WV-03 (the most conservative district in the state) relatively close in 2018, only losing 53-43 (compared to 2020 where it went 70-30).

Combine that with Alex Mooney's history of underperformance, could Ojeda have defeated him in 2018?

I'm going to say lean no, due to the partisanship of WV and on the federal level being too much. Ojeda would come close though, possibly 4-6 points.

My heart wants to say yes, but my brain is telling me no.

Still crazy to think that Mooney only won by 3 in 2014, especially since this was a GOP-held open seat (so, not a flip or anything)

Absolutely not, almost immediately after the teacher strike he exposed himself to be an incompetent idiot.

Yep, the guy is just a straight-up awful candidate, one of the worst underperfomers currently in Congress.

Possibly, but only if he lived in the district and he’d be DOA in 2020.
