Republicans have significantly strengthened their dominance in the West Virginia Legislature, reducing the number of Democratic seats to just 11 out of 134 after the recent elections. The GOP will now hold only two of the 34 Senate seats, down from three, while the House of Delegates will see Democrats drop from 11 to at least nine members. This election marks a historic moment as Republicans will control all statewide elected offices for the first time in nearly a century. GOP Chairman Matt Herridge celebrated the results as a reflection of West Virginians rejecting 'divisive' agendas. The elections also resulted in a decline in female representation, with only one Democratic woman and eight Republican women elected to the House. Democratic Party Chair Mike Pushkin attributed the losses to the impact of the presidential election outcome on down-ballot races.
