He keeps getting reelected because he's the most conservative Democrat in the Senate and thus willing to buck his party as we're seeing now. That and the fact he brings a lot of federal money and resources into his state, just like his predecessor Robert Byrd.
I don't know if he'll be able to pull it off again in 2024, especially if Trump runs. He barely won in 2018, and he would have lost had the Libertarians not taken 4% of the vote, and that was a good year for the Democrats. Back then he could run as someone who could work across the aisle and would stand up to his own party. Since then he's voted to convict Trump in 2 impeachment proceedings, and that might be enough to erase his narrow lead if the Republicans don't fuck up the election.
At this point whether republicans fuck up depends on whether the gop candidate will fight the fraud or not. Virginia was won by having more vigilant poll watchers, New Jersey was lost by refusing to contest the ballot stuffing.
I suspect the vast majority of Democrats rely on cheating to get their seats. 2018 was the first extremely widespread case where they blatantly kept finding more ballots until they won, though they've clearly been doing that on a smaller scale since Al Franken.
