Following a disappointing midterm cycle in which candidates blew what appeared to be winnable races, GOP groups are already plotting to avoid a repeat in 2024.
West Virginia legislators passed a bill Tuesday that will ban virtually all abortions except when the mother’s life is in danger, and Gov. Jim Justice is expected to sign it.
The governor announced he had signed the bill, which overwhelmingly passed the legislature in bipartisan fashion, on World Down Syndrome Day March 21. The law also requires information on support systems available to families.

(CNSNews.com) – West Virginia’s COVID vaccination program is so successful that vaccine disbursement is at 98.1 percent – either “in people’s arms or with names tied to it,” West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said Sunday.
“For the last week or so, we ve been running not at 70 percent. We re running it right at 100 percent. Right now, we re at 98.1 percent, as far as vaccines in people s arms or names tied to it, you know, that are going to be put into people s arms immediately. We re saving all kinds of lives. We re putting our kids back in school,” he told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
