President Trump and rally attendees received a big surprise when West Virginia's Democratic governor Jim Justice announced he was switching parties. The keen move marks a watershed moment for the GOP, which will now control all levers of government in more than half the states. Justice, who took office as a Democrat just seven months ago,will be the nation's 34th Republican governor.Trump defeated Clinton in West Virginia, winning nearly 70 percent of the vote. At the 3rd August rally, he predictably touted his electoral victory. He also denounced the ongoing Russia probe as "a total fabrication," despite special counsel Robert Mueller's enlisting of a grand jury to oversee the investigation.
