Gov. Jim Justice once used a visit by then-President Donald Trump to West Virginia as the stage to announce his switch to the Republican Party

I’ll promise you that ... tonight I’m proposing our West Virginia tsunami that the world will hear in every single way.”Before going into politics, Justice bought the 6,500-acre Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs out of bankruptcy for $20.1 million.
