'Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance received Donald Trump’s endorsement in the race for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat.
In a statement, Trump described Vance as “the candidate most qualified and ready to win in November.”The decision is a blow to former state treasurer Josh Mandel, investment banker Mike Gibbons and former Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken, who have been in a heated race for both the nomination and for Trump’s backing in a primary that is now less than three weeks away.to urge Trump not to endorse Vance following a news report that said the former president was planning to do just that.
Vance, in particular, has come under fire for old audio and since-deleted tweets in which he called himself a “never-Trump guy,” called Trump an idiot and said he might have to hold his nose and vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016.
