WATCH: West Virginia Governor Switches Party To GOP At Trump Rally

posted by Hannity Staff - 10.21.17

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice shocked a raucous audience at a rally for President Trump in Huntington, West Virginia by announcing that he is switching to the Republican Party.

“Today I will tell you with lots of prayers and lots of thinking, I’ll tell you West Virginians, I can’t help you any more being a Democrat governor,” Justice said. “So tomorrow, I will be changing my registration to Republican.”

“The Democrats walked away from me,” Justice said adding that his late mother, a Republican and booster of Ronald Reagan, would say to him “Jimmy, it’s about damn time you came to your senses.”

President Trump had teased “a very big announcement” earlier on Thursday.
