West Virginia Governor Jim Justice ran and won in 2016 as a Democrat, but, on Thursday night, will reportedly announce he’s switching his affiliation to Republican, notes the New York Times.
He’s expected to share news of his party change at a rally that will also feature President Trump, reports The Hill.
Trump indicated earlier on Thursday that a "big announcement" is coming.
He told reporters during a press appearance, “We’re going to West Virginia tonight, by the way. We’re going to have a very big announcement, which will be very exciting I think for the media and everyone else.”
