A debate between West Virginia gubernatorial candidates Patrick Morrisey and Steve Williams, initially scheduled for October 30, has been called off, with confusion surrounding its confirmation. Williams claims both campaigns had agreed to the debate, while Morrisey's team states no details were finalized, although other debate opportunities are reportedly being arranged. Meanwhile, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice expressed reluctance to debate his U.S. Senate opponent Glenn Elliott, asserting his popularity and minimal campaigning as justification. Despite this, polls indicate significant financial controversies surrounding Justice that voters may not be fully aware of. In Westport, a legislative debate forum is set for October 10, inviting public participation, highlighting the importance of voter engagement through debates. With the gubernatorial election approaching, the call for more debates continues to be a focal point among candidates.
