EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) plans to decide on whether to run again for West Virginia governor in a matter of weeks, telling the Washington Examiner that he hopes to make up his mind in “way less” than 30 days.
“We’ll decide in very short order,” he said on Monday evening at the Capitol. “The last thing I’m going to do in the world … is tease people or jerk people around. That’s not Jim Justice. I promise you, I’ll make a decision quickly, and then we’ll go with it.”
