All eyes turned to central Ohio Tuesday as observers questioned the strength of Donald Trump s influence among Republicans heading into the 2022 midterms.
And unlike a House race in Texas last week, the former president s endorsement in the 15th Congressional District primary paid off.
Trump-backed coal lobbyist Mike Carey won Tuesday s crowded GOP primary in the race to replace former U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers, who left Congress in May to head the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. Carey will face state Rep. Allison Russo on Nov. 2 after Russo defeated retired Army colonel Greg Betts for the Democratic nomination. Tonight, Republicans across Ohio’s 15th Congressional District sent a clear message to the nation that President Donald J. Trump is, without a doubt, the leader of our party, Carey said in a statement. I could not be more grateful for his support, and I am proud to deliver this win to advance his America First agenda.
