In 2008, John McCain defeated Barack Obama 55 - 42 and In 2012, Mitt Romney defeated President Obama 62 - 35. In 2016, Donald Trump won the state by a greater than 40 - point margin against Hillary Clinton ( 68 - 26 ). However, at the statewide level, West Virginia is much friendlier to Democrats. In 2016, while President Trump won the state with nearly 70 % of the vote, Jim Justice ( who was a Democrat at the time, before switching his affiliation to the Republican Party ) won the gubernatorial election with 49 % of the vote. In 2012, which was Senator Joe Manchin 's most recent statewide election, he won with nearly 60 % of the vote against John Raese.

Observers note that he may be ineligible to run due to West Virginia 's sore - loser law which states that the loser of a partisan primary election can not appear on the ballot as an independent or with another political party in the general election. Blankenship is eligible to run as a write - in candidate. Secretary of State Mac Warner denied ballot access to Blankenship 's campaign on July 26, citing West Virginia 's `` sore loser '' law. The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia ordered Warner to deny Blankenship ballot access on August 29, 2018.
