Ohio primary voters head to polls in first test of Trump's influence in GOP midterms
cbsnews.com ^ | 5/3/22 | ADAM BREWSTER, AARON NAVARRO

The 2022 primaries kick into high gear Tuesday when Ohio and Indiana voters head to the polls, initiating a month of elections that will preview where the parties could be heading in November's midterm elections.

The brightest spotlight Tuesday is shining on Ohio's Republican Senate primary, featuring a crowded field of candidates vying to represent the party in the race to replace retiring GOP Senator Rob Portman.

Ohio voters will also decide who the Senate Democratic nominee will be, whether incumbent Republican Governor Mike DeWine will get a shot at a second term and which former southwest Ohio mayor will earn the Democratic nomination. The state also features a slew of interesting House primaries, including a rematch between Democratic Representative Shontel Brown and Nina Turner, and a former Trump aide trying to win a spot in Congress.

JD Vance? Can’t do it, I just can’t. I picked Gibbons, he won’t win, but I’ve heard the man speak, and he’s not as stupid as that comment on taxes would lead you to believe. There should be a “none of the above” option. Try again.

Get your butts out and vote for VANCE! Support Trump! The media will gloat big time if Trump’s candidate doesn’t win!

I couldn't bring myself to vote for Vance... even though Trump endorsed him.

I couldn't get past Vance's former statements about President Trump.

Also, when Trump didn't fire some of the “O’Bozo” holdovers from his administration, I lost a little confidence in his judgment of people. All the “O” holdovers delivered a knife in the back... some of Trump's own picks did too.

I voted for Mandel because from the start, and ever since (even NOW), he states that the last Presidential election was stolen. THAT means everything to this election and all others.

If a ‘Republican’ candidate cannot articulate that, then he/she is saying that there is no fraud in the system. How do I vote for someone like that??

Interesting that YOU could not get over Vance’s prior statements about Trump...But Trump did get over them.

Tells me everything I need to know.

Vote for Vance.

The Biden admin has been institutionalizing the 2020 Steal techniques.

If there is an I (incumbent) next to their name, just fire them.
There are very few worth keeping

Right-so no matter how it comes out, I sure hope DeWine gets gone!

Not Vance under any circumstances. The man has revealed himself. Trump is wrong about him. I’m voting for Gibbons.

First test! Pfffft! The last I heard the score was about 127 to 2 in favor of Trump candidates.

Dolan could win this, sadly. It’s either Dolan or Vance who will win tonight, from what I can tell.

If Dolan wins the media will go nuts. So be ready for that. It could happen.

Go Vance!

It’s going to be a Rino or republican test for Ohio and Indiana.

I’m headed out shortly to do the same. I’ve been surprised to see how many Freepers are unable to get behind Vance. I hope he pulls it off.

Plus I have a fire levy to vote against. ;)

I’m just a little south of you. Went to a Strongsville GOP event not too long ago. First voting is a milestone!!

My 16 year old grandson is praying Trump runs again in 2024 so he has a chance to vote for him!😂
