J.D. Vance Wins GOP Senate Nod In Ohio

May 3, 2022 · 9:21 pm ET · Leave a Comment

J.D. Vance (R) won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Ohio and will face Rep. Tim Ryan (D) in the general election, according to the Cook Political Report.

New York Times: “Mr. Vance’s come-from-behind victory in the race for the seat of the retiring Sen. Rob Portman was a testament to the power Donald Trump still holds with the Republican voting base in Ohio, a state that voted for Mr. Trump twice.”

Washington Post: “Vance’s win caps an extraordinary political transformation from staunch Trump critic to one of the former president’s most vocal champions.”
