'The party that we need to unify to fight Tim Ryan, it's our Republican Party...The guy is running as the Trump Democrat,' J.D. Vance said in his victory speech for the Ohio GOP Senate nomination, as Ryan is projected to win the Democratic nomination.
Most of the Republicans vying for the nomination for the open Senate seat sought Trump's endorsement, including former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, who ran as a pro-Trump politician.
Vance was once a Trump critic, but earned the former president's endorsement by embracing Trump's views on issues like trade, immigration and slamming big tech companies. Vance's win on Tuesday demonstrated that Trump still holds influence over a sizable chunk of Republican primary voters. J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, shakes hands with former President Donald Trump during a rally hosted by the former president at the Delaware County Fairgrounds on April 23, 2022 in Delaware, Ohio.Vance focused his victory speech on the upcoming fight against U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, who is projected to win the Democratic nomination.
Mandel, in conceding, said he looked forward"to voting for him in November and doing what I can to help him beat Tim Ryan," who is projected to win the Democratic nomination. State Sen. Matt Dolan, whose family owns the Cleveland Guardians, was the only leading candidate to say that President Biden legitimately won the 2020 election, and he was the only top contender who did not seek Trump's endorsement.
