Incumbent U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito commands 98.9% trader consensus to win West Virginia's Republican Senate primary on May 12, reflecting her entrenched incumbency advantage, superior fundraising, and dominant name recognition in the state's conservative electorate. State Senator Tom Willis, a Green Beret veteran challenging from the right, and Parkersburg businessman Alexander Gaasserud remain marginal threats at 1.2% and 0.2%, with recent interviews and filings—like Willis's April positioning against Capito—failing to shift momentum amid no public polling showing contention. Though entrenched incumbents rarely lose primaries, a late scandal, health event, or unexpected conservative turnout surge could disrupt this trajectory before early voting.
