West Virginia has voted for Donald Trump for president by heavy margins the past three electoral cycles. This year, West Virginians voted for Trump over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris by a 70% to 28% margin.

Emergency teams will continue efforts to retrieve the bodies of those who died when a passenger jet and helicopter collided.
