The West Virginia Democratic Party is the affiliate of the Democratic Party in the U.S. state of West Virginia.
Although West Virginia was historically one of the most Democratic-voting states in the nation, the party has rapidly lost ground in the state in the 21st century. The party currently has very weak electoral power in the state, and is one of the weakest affiliates of the national Democratic Party. It controls no statewide or federal elected offices and holds very few seats in both houses of the state legislature.
Bill Clinton remains the last Democratic Presidential Candidate to win the state, having done so in 1992 and 1996.
