As expected, Donald Trump formally endorsed J.D. Vance (R) in Ohio’s Republican Senate primary, Axios reports.
New York Times: “The move amounted to a major bet on Mr. Vance and on Mr. Trump’s influence over Republican primary voters in conservative-leaning Ohio, where several high-profile candidates are facing off in a contentious and at times nasty campaign to replace the retiring Senator Rob Portman, a Republican.”
Dropping a major endorsement on a Friday afternoon — on Good Friday — seems like odd timing.
