The New York Times reported that Jim Justice, the Democratic former businessman, will join President Donald Trump at a rally tonight in Huntington, where he will announce that he is switching parties.
This isn't the first time Justice has jumped parties - he was a Republican until just before launching his run for governor in 2015.
The governor has also made no secret of his affinity for Trump.
Justice has referred to Trump as a family friend, and occasionally texts and hunts with Trump's son Eric Trump. During a campaign debate last year, he sparred with Republican candidate Bill Cole over who was personally closer to Trump.
The move makes Sen. Joe Manchin the last major Democratic Party leader in the state and leaves Democrats with just 15 governorships.
