'Caved to the far-left': Entrenched red state GOP incumbent loses primary after PAC hammers him on key issue
Fox News
A conservative PAC is taking credit for the defeat of a longtime West Virginia Republican due to what they say is his soft stance on illegal immigration.
Stand For Us PAC, a group that has pledged to put at least $1 million into defeating incumbents who they deemed weak on illegal immigration, says Blair lost because of his support of subsidizing healthcare for illegal immigrants.

"It’s simple: Craig Blair caved to the far-left on illegal immigration and turned his back on the people of West Virginia...and Stand for Us PAC held him accountable," Katie Miller, Chair of Stand for Us PAC, said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
