The 2020 elections solidified West Virginia's rightward shift as Republican party candidates won all U.S. House seats, statewide executive offices and the U.S. Senate seat up for election (all with more than 56% of the vote) while also expanding their majorities in both state legislative chambers.

Incumbent Republican Donald Trump easily carried West Virginia, capturing 68.62% of the vote.

With a vote share of 70.3%, she was the first Republican senator to win reelection in West Virginia since 1907.

Incumbent Republican governor Jim Justice won reelection to a second term over Democrat Ben Salango with 64.8% of the vote.

Four incumbents chose not to seek re-election due to retirement: Democrats Paul Hardesty, Roman Prezioso, and Corey Palumbo and Republican Kenny Mann.

Armstead then won a 2018 special election to serve the remainder of Ketchum's term with 26.1% of the vote.
