Ohio Republicans are divided on candidates for the open U.S. House seat, as former President Donald Trump's choice is competing with candidates backed by other conservative leaders, an anti-abortion group and Trump's own former allies.
The winning candidate will succeed former U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers, who resigned in May to lead the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
Trump's selection for the GOP-leaning 15th Congressional District race is Mike Carey, who was described by Trump's Save America PAC release to "be a courageous fighter for the people and our economy, is strong on the Border, and tough on Crime."
Though Trump won Ohio twice by wide margins, Carey faces at least nine other contenders for the position, some of whom have received support from strong former Trump allies or other organizations.
The 15th Congressional District is gerrymandered to include all or part of 12 Ohio counties including parts of Columbus, and will have the special election primary on Aug. 3.

Politicians suck eggs.

The very definition of Bush League Republican.
If Trump endorses a candidate in any Republican primary the others will lose.
New Squeak finds trouble and turmoil in the Republican party!
Let’s hope his pick of candidates is better than his pick of WH staff.
Previous endorsements of candidates left a lot to be desired as well.
McCain, Romney, McConnell, Grahamnesty, Rubio, etc.
If it's a nine person primary then anything can happen.
I simply hate politics.
Trunp has made mistakes. His border policy plus many other decisions make him a hero next to Biden and Obama. Who ever pushed drug manufacturers like Trump to get a vaccine so fast?

The majority will back the MAGA candidate. A waste of time for the other 8.
Time will tell.
I'd trust a man who's been burnt.

The Mailman strikes again.
So what!?
Trump’s life experiences have taught him to trust his gut on people that he interacts with along the way.
However, psychopaths and lifelong politicians (sadly too redundant) have spent their lifetime learning and practicing ways to keep their true self well hidden.
Despite his attention and intuition, Trump can’t always see through the shape-shifting chameleons in the swamp to see the evil there.
Ruth Edmonds got my support. A fine lady that will do a great job.
