Gov. Justice And Babydog To Headline Team Trump Road Trip Event

Gov. Jim Justice and Babydog are slated to campaign for former President Donald Trump in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania on Thursday. Justice announced the event in a Tuesday press release.

At his Wednesday press briefing, Justice said this event is one in a series of Trump campaign events he is scheduled to attend in swing states, with two in North Carolina and three Pennsylvania, to “target some more of the rural counties.”

“I’m not going there in Pennsylvania to sit and talk about me, I mean, for crying out loud, and I’m not into running all over the place, campaigning for me, because the people of this great state, they know me,” Justice said. “We got a lot, a lot of great stuff that’s happening in West Virginia, and we need to tell the West Virginia story.”

Justice said he might schedule more Trump campaign events in Pennsylvania.

“I really believe the entire election hinges on Pennsylvania,” Justice said. “I want to try to help President Trump in any way I possibly can.”

Justice continued that he was “very close to the Trump family.” Justice announced his 2017 post-election party switch in 2017 at a Trump rally.

Justice said Trump was not confirmed to attend the event himself, although the governor said that Trump may “surprise” attendees at some points in Justice’s road trip schedule.

The event will start at 6 p.m. at 52 East High Street, Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
