Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) expressed confidence in a recent interview about his party’s chances in next year’s West Virginia Senate race.
Democrats have struggled to find a candidate in the race since Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) announced earlier this year that he will not seek re-election. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) announced in November of 2012 that she will run in the race, which is considered a prime pick-up opportunity for the GOP. But Reid said the Democrats have their candidate.
“I think we’re going to be very competitive in — in West Virginia, we have a candidate there who should be announcing shortly,” he told a local PBS affiliate, according to Roll Call.
