Mike Carey Wins Ohio Election in Test of Trump's Power in GOP Primaries
On 8/3/21 at 9:52 PM EDT
Former President Donald Trump's pick to represent Ohio in the House of Representatives won in a Republican primary on Tuesday, signaling that the self-proclaimed leader of the GOP still has influence over voters.
Despite suffering his own election loss in November, Trump's remained the head of the Republican Party and has vowed to primary Republicans who aren't backers of his America First agenda. With a winning track record of endorsements, the former president has wielded considerable influence in past elections and Tuesday's election shows a recent loss in Texas may have been a fluke.
