Mike Carey, former President Donald Trump’s preferred candidate, won the Republican nomination in the primary for Ohio’s 15th congressional district special election on Tuesday.

At the end of the day no one knows the candidates “hopefully” as well as those closest to them.

backing a losing candidate in a Texas special election last week.

That was a VERY unusual situation with 2 conventional GOP candidates running against each other in an OPEN election. A Trump endorsement almost always will be a positive thing.

in the future when two Trump supporting candidates are facing off, and apparently equally effective politicians, it would be best for The Donald to stay neutral.

Trump endorsed candidate wins in a big field for safe GOP seat.

Berner Nina Turner defeated in race for safe rat seat. No new member for the squad.

He had already supported her in the open primary so it would have been weird to just suddenly drop support.
The “problem” was that 2 GOP candidates advanced. I don’t think anyone was expecting that to happen. It’s not a hugely GOP district where that might normally be expected.

It seems that the winning Texas candidate agrees with Trump on most issues, anyways, so the MSM is throwing a bunch of Nothing around, as if it’s a political victory for The Left, when, in reality, The Left lost.
