Ohio Republicans try to stop Trump from endorsing self-proclaimed never-Trumper, J.D. Vance
April 15, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton


A number of Republican leaders in Ohio are urging former President Donald Trump to not endorse “Hillbilly Elegy” author and venture capitalist J.D. Vance, who at one time was labeled a “Never Trumper,” in the upcoming crowded GOP Senate primary.

NBC News is reporting that multiple sources close to Trump claim that he is preparing to endorse Vance.

“Former President Donald Trump plans to endorse J.D. Vance in Ohio’s crowded Senate GOP primary, according to three sources with knowledge of his decision,” the media outlet reported.

“In recent days, Trump has begun calling donors and advisers to get their opinions on endorsing the ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ author, but he held off under intense pressure from the rival Republican campaigns of Josh Mandel and Jane Timken, sources said,” NBC News noted.

Trump endorses Vance in Ohio GOP Senate primary

Former President Trump endorsed author J.D. Vance in Ohio’s Republican Senate primary on Friday, calling Vance “the most qualified” candidate in the GOP field.

“Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not so great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades,” Trump said in a statement, referring to Vance’s past criticism of him.  “He is our best chance for victory in what could be a very tough race.”

Trump’s endorsement puts an end to months of speculation about who the former president would back in the crowded primary, which turned increasingly bitter as candidates competed for his endorsement.
