Glenn also expressed to me his discomfort with the leftward direction of the Democratic Party and that he no longer identifies with them.”Republicans dominated West Virginia elections earlier this month, giving the GOP a 30-seat majority in the 34-member Senate. Now it’s 31 of 34. ...Democrats had control of the chamber through 2013 with a 24 to 10 majority. In 2014, Republicans gained control with a narrow 18-16 majority — and they’ve continued to build on that.During the last session, the Republican majority was 23 Republicans and 11 Democrats.In 1992, Democrats had a 32-2 advantage in the Senate. ...
