Former President Donald Trump doubled down on his endorsement of coal lobbyist Mike Carey in the 15th Congressional District special election on Tuesday and attacked other Republicans in the race for claiming he supports them.
Carey is vying for the GOP nomination in the Aug. 3 primary against 10 other Republicans for the chance to replace former U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers, who left Congress in May to join the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. The winner will face either Democratic state Rep. Allison Russo or Greg Betts on Nov. 2.
Carey is a longtime lobbyist for American Consolidated Natural Resources previously known as Murray Energy and chairs the Ohio Coal Association. He paints himself as a political outsider and has centered much of his campaign around Trump s support.
