CINCINNATI — Senator Rob Portman announced Monday morning that he would not seek re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2022.
"This was not an easy decision because representing the people of Ohio has been an honor," Portman said. "But I’ve been doing this a long time, longer than I ever intended."
WCPO is updating this story.
If he does, I hope the people of Ohio make the rest of his life a living hell.
POS will not be missed!
Exactly !
This is why the idea of forming a 3rd party is so stupid.
The old bull RINOS are old and will be going soon. Age will be taking them. (Yes there are a few exceptions!) With 90+% of Trump by the support by the rank and file the GOP is ripe for a “hostile” takeover by that rank and file. Tey just have to do it!
Jim Jordan should announce today that he is running, and he will win in a landslide...until the mail in ballots come in at 3:00 AM the day after the election.
Lo and behold! Someone named Mark Pukita is already up on Wikipedia as running. The guy’s too old, too unattractive, and not differential to fashion. Portman would have the incumbency advantage but he’s a squish. Trump will be lurking in the background and that’s what bothers them.
As with most rotten things in this country, Portman can be traced to the Bush Family, in this case both Bushes. It’s really stunning the rot the Bushes created. Horrible and disgusting family.
I may have done the same thing....and a few FB posts as well.
Goodbye to another globalist RINO.
One less Bush League Republican.
Likely he knows Trump base will not turn out for a GOPe. 2022 is the next cycle. Better to ride off into the sunset with a legacy opposed to going up in flames. Ohio has Dominion voting systems and likely his polling numbers are not good. So blow out and let Primaries do their job. 2022 Ohio will have 2 Dem senators is my prediction
Enjoy Hades Rob Portman. I am so happy to see another GOP Turncoat leave in disgrace.
Alaska U R rong. GOP governor(deWine). he’s a squish but the last election was legit in Ohio. You can now do something about Lisa.
Jim Jordan is definitely the best from Ohio.
This is why a new party isn’t the answer, we are winning, the Anti-Trump Republicans are retiring, they see which way the wind is blowing.
don’t let the door hit you on the way out! good riddance
Not without voting reforms. Err... vote counting reforms.
Good. Then who’s 2nd best? I’m thinking of Sherrod Brown’s seat. Mid terms should be good for us. So should 2024 in a perfect storm.
[My pick is Jim Jordan He may be too important where he is but if there’s anyone better let me know. ]
Great choice, but he plays a pivotal role where he is now.
Additionally, I would love to see him as a VP candidate on 2024.
Every time we have nominated a GOP Senate candidate that Mitch does not approve, the GOP colludes with the Democrats to defeat them.
GOP - RIP
Jordan looks tough like a linebacker the same way Sidney powell looks like Marilyn Manson.
