- West Virginia governor deploys national guard to Washington DC — West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey deployed 300 to 400 national guard members to Washington DC to support Trump's efforts there. A civic organization, the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, challenged the deployment as exceeding the governor's authority. The state attorney general's office asked a Kanawha County circuit court judge to reject the case, arguing the group lacked standing. Judge Richard D Lindsay heard arguments on Friday and continued the hearing to November 3 to allow the state to address whether Morrisey had the authority to deploy the troops.
