Geraldo Rivera won't run for Ohio Senate seat
The Hill ^ | 03/11/21 06:03 PM EST | BY JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 03/12/2021 3:25:59 AM PST by RandFan

Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera will not run for Ohio's Senate being vacated by Sen. Rob Portman (R), the broadcaster said Thursday.

In a tweet, Rivera confirmed that he had considered a run for office but ultimately rejected the idea.

"After a 36-hour pondering whirlwind I’ve decided not to seek public office. Erica and I deeply appreciate the good wishes of those cheering the idea," he tweeted.

Rivera's announcement comes as speculation has swirled on both sides of the aisle over who will run to replace Portman, who confirmed earlier this month that he would likely not run for reelection.

So are there any viable, good conservatives to support for this seat?

We need to find a candidate and support them or risk another RINO or Bush League Republican winning it.

I wonder who Trump will support...

If the GOP takes back the House next year it'll be Speaker McCarthy

His only qualifications are that his producers thought he was sexy and so put his ugly face on TV to attract the airheads who like that sort of thing.

I was so glad to read this. Thank God! Can’t stand the man, but I had little doubt that he would be elected.

His exploratory polls told him that his effort would be like a snowball in hell. His ego could not fathom the possibility of a rejection by the populace of an entire state. Intelligent people know that Rivera left his reputation on the floor of the room that housed Al Capone’s alleged safe.

Rivera is too young for the Senate at 77 years old

Jane Timken, who BVannon raved about the other day, and Josh Mandel are the two so far. I am getting fundraising emails from both. Bannon said Timken is MAGA, but not sure. Hopefully we get a good candidate, Portman is a Bush RINO that I will be happy to see go!

If you are the person deciding whether I'm correct or not then I'm right a whole lot more than you realize.
