Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel is confident he will win Tuesday's Republican primary and take Democrat Sen. Tim Ryan’s seat in November despite an uphill battle against Trump-backed opponent J.D. Vance, who is leading the polls.
Mandel said on "America’s Newsroom" Monday that his campaign strategy is something no other Ohio Senate candidate has ever done, and it will take him to victory.
"Rather than running the campaign through traditional Republican Party groups, we’ve actually run our campaign through churches," he told co-hosts Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer.
"We’ve got this army of Christian warriors throughout the state who are going to come out in droves and propel us to victory," he said.
Mandel said Sen. Ted Cruz, who offered his endorsement, and Gen. Michael Flynn accompanied him to campaign events at churches

Confidence is good, but reality might prove otherwise.
Josh Mandel is supported by Club For Growth. Correct????
You are correct and that’s a big problem.
***********
Why speculate? What are his positions on illegal aliens and the scope of legal immigration?
We have two good men in this race.
Same happened in Florida years ago when Trump picked DeSantis over the GOP Establishment choice. Both good men. Both supported Trump. But Trump saw the magic in DeSantis... and the rest is history.
We need to find a spot for Josh Mandel if he loses this race...
If Ted had won the 2016 primary, he would have been destroyed by Hillary.
His pick for VP says he really knows nothing about the GOP base.
This is all about Ted running for President again and has little to do with the Senate.
Churches that hold campaign events for candidates in their sanctuary are not a place people should go to worship. Candidates who do the same should not be voted for.
This is disturbing behavior.
Indeed an odd thing for a person who is not of the faith to say.
The fact he is Jewish is not a political disqualifier, but campaigning in churches in this manner, even if he was Christian, should be. The fact he is not Christian and doing this just seems to cement the criticism he is purely a panderer.
I don’t think he has a prayer.
Yup 👍
And if Mandel loses in the primary will he then back Vance (or other winner) or take all his Christian backers and go home?
Agreed.
Mandel’s is not as bad, but Hilary “I ain’t no ways tired” Clinton in the black church was disrespectful in multiple areas. I think she also said something about carrying hot sauce in her purse...
not.
On this we agree.
Isn’t Josh Mandel the guy that - when asked on Steve Bannon’s podcast a few months ago - refused to rule out voting for Mitch McConnell to be the Senate Majority Leader?
LOL
PredictIt currently has Mandel coming in third to Vance and Matt Dolan in 2nd.
You know 88-89% of the current congress identify as Christian. I wonder what percentage will make it to heaven?
Prolly one in the same Trump just announced he had endorsed JD Mandel. 😣
He’s a McConnell plant. He’d vote to make him Majority Leader again and vote for amnesty.
“I trust Trump’s judgement over lyin’ Ted’s any day.”
Trump did endorse Romney
doesn’t seem very Christian to lie and deceive.
