West Virginia

McDowell County sits in the heart of Coal Country, and went strongly for Trump in 2024. He won the county by over 61 points, sweeping the vast majority of the county, including the seat of Welch. Harris did manage to win a handful of majority nonwhite precincts in and around Keystone and Northfork; a rarity in the region outside of more-urban areas

Ohio County sits along the Ohio River in the middle of the state's spike separating the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Home to Wheeling, the county voted for Trump by 26.5 points. Democrats were able to win a handful of precincts in and around Wheeling, but the surrounding communities and rural areas keep Ohio County pretty red

Tucker County is the only county in the state to have shifted leftwards in 2024. This being said, Trump still carried it by almost 50 points. Dems are gaining ground due to the ski resorts and outdoorsy activities present in the area, which prompts many remote workers to move to the area from larger cities

SD 13 is the state's most Democratic Senate district by base partisanship. This being said, Trump won the seat by just shy of 6 points. The district combines Monongalia and Marion counties, and is home to the major cities of Morgantown (home to WVU) and Fairmont. Harris did best in these cities, but the connecting rurals and surrounding small towns keep the seat red. This is one of the two seats that Democrats hold in the chamber

HD 56 is one of the most Republican seats that State House Democrats hold. The seat is centered on Charleston, taking in part of the city center, and then weaving its way westward through redder suburban and rural turf. Trump won it by about 10.5 points in 2024, but it will be a safe Democratic hold in November, as the Democratic incumbent (Del. Kayla Young) is uncontested in the general election
