Trump-backed congressional candidate Mike Carey wins Ohio Republican primary

New York Post

A congressional candidate endorsed by former President Trump won the Republican primary for a vacant house seat in Ohio Tuesday.

The candidate, Mike Carey, said his win was evidence of the ex-presidentโ€™s dominant sway over the GOP, days after Trump-backed candidate Susan Wright lost a run-off congressional race in Texas.

Carey won 36 percent of the vote in the district south of Columbus, more than twice as much as his nearest opponent.

โ€œGreat Republican win for Mike Carey,โ€ Trump wrote in a statement issued Tuesday night.

โ€œBig numbers! Thank you to Ohio and all of our wonderful American patriots. Congratulations to Mike and his family. He will never let you down!โ€

Carey played up Trumpโ€™s support during the campaign, touting his endorsement and โ€œAmerica firstโ€ policies on his website.

The former coal lobbyist was the beneficiary of a eleventh hour Trump tele-rally on his behalf, and an infusion of $350,000 on digital campaign ads from a pro-Trump PAC, as the former president sought to avoid a second straight loss from a candidate he backed, according to Politico.

Carey and 10 other GOP candidates were vying to replace Rep. Steve Stivers, who stepped down in May to head the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, the outlet said.

Carey is reportedly favored to win the seat in the conservative district this November.
