Riley Moore, the Republican incumbent, secured his party's nomination without significant opposition in the May 2026 primary for West Virginia's 2nd congressional district, while Democrat Ace Parsi emerged from a contested primary field. The district's consistent Republican voting patterns in recent cycles, combined with its rural and industrial northern Panhandle demographics, underpin trader consensus favoring the GOP nominee ahead of the November 3 general election. No major shifts in polling, endorsements, or campaign finance have altered this positioning in recent weeks. Scenarios that could narrow the gap include an unforeseen national political realignment, a late-breaking scandal involving the incumbent, or unusually high Democratic turnout in key counties, though structural advantages make such outcomes low-probability events.
