Congressman Jim Renacci, who touted President Trump’s endorsement during his campaign, blew out four opponents on Tuesday, paving the way for him to challenge incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in November.
With 84.5 percent of Ohio precincts reporting, Renacci held a commanding lead, garnering nearly half of the votes in a five-way primary:
| 46.8% | Jim Renacci | 322,263 | ||
| 32% | Mike Gibbons | 220,129 | ||
| 13.3% | Melissa Ackison | 91,285 | ||
| 4% | Dan Kiley | 27,738 | ||
| 4% | Don Eckhart | 27,341 |
Renacci easily edged out Cleveland investment banker Mike Gibbons, a political newcomer who had also sought the votes of Trump fans during his campaign.
In an email to supporters Tuesday night, Renacci wrote:
I am honored to have secured the Republican nomination for U.S Senate and am humbled by the outpouring of support our campaign has received throughout the state. For those who voted for a different candidate in this race, I’m committed to earning your support in the weeks and months ahead. Ohio deserves a voice in this Senate seat who will support rather than obstruct the President’s agenda, and who will fight for Ohio families and businesses rather than the liberal special interests that Sherrod Brown serves in Washington. I will be that voice for Ohio and I look forward to delivering that change in November.
