Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, the most prominent Republican in the race to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown next year, has fired one of his top aides after social media posts surfaced in which the staffer criticized Donald Trump.
LaRose’s office confirmed press secretary Rob Nichols’s departure on Wednesday. A longtime Republican operative in the state, Nichols held a similar position with then-Republican Gov. John Kasich before he ran for president and became a vocal Trump detractor.
In one tweet, Nichols is quoted replying to a Trump supporter: “it’s been an incredible indictments race to the bottom for your guys and hunter biden…the daytona 500 of felonies and misdemeanors.” Reached by phone, Nichols declined comment on the matter. He had deleted the offending account before the tweets were brought to light.
After holding out for months, Trump endorsed venture capitalist and memoirist JD Vance for the seat vacated by the GOP’s Rob Portman in 2022, helping Vance handily beat a crowded field to win the GOP primary and then the seat.
