COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Another pro-Trump Republican entered the race Tuesday for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the GOP’s Sen. Rob Portman.
Mike Gibbons, a former Cleveland investment banker, said his campaign would build on the experience and name recognition he gained by running unsuccessfully in 2018.
He stepped down Feb. 11 as chairman of Ohio Strong Action, a conservative group that supports former President Donald Trump. He joins a field filled so far with supporters of Trump, who twice carried Ohio.
