Earning a coveted endorsement from former President Donald Trump was not enough to clear a path to the Republican nomination for Max Miller, who is running for an open House seat in Ohio.

Attorney Shay Hawkins, a former aide to Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, launched his campaign Wednesday, declaring himself the best candidate to ensure Republicans defend the suburban Cleveland district in the 2022 midterm elections.

Since their incumbent candidate (Gonzalez) dropped out because he would have been defeated, the Establishment comes up with a NEW candidate to prevent a Trump-endorsed candidate from winning.

And of course it's a Senator's aide!

“I am running this race because I am the best person to win the district for Republicans,” declared Hawkins, whose primary opponents will include former White House aide Max Miller of Rocky River. In February, ex-President Donald Trump endorsed Miller after incumbent Rocky River Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez voted to impeach Trump over his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump shows up for a rally or two, and its a done deal.

No GOPe hack can survive that.
