Dolan surges late in Ohio GOP Senate primary, says voters 'leaving some other candidates' to back his campaign (never-Trumper)

Ohio Republican Senate candidate Matt Dolan says he believes his campaign is bringing over supporters of other candidates in the final stretch before primary day, as reports indicate he's building significant momentum

"I was the last person into this race, so the undecideds have had multiple times to go with any other candidate. So as they're becoming aware of me, that's where I'm rising in the polls," Dolan told Fox News in a Sunday interview at an Ottawa County Republican Women's Club event.

"We're getting a lot of undecideds to come for us, I think we're getting some people leaving some other candidates," Dolan, an Ohio state senator, added. "They want somebody who's singularly focused on going to Washington to fight the Biden administration, fight for Ohioans and make America strong."

Portman and McConnell's preferred candidate, Jane Timken, has gone nowhere.

So all the liberal Republicans (and no doubt Democrats) are getting behind Dolan to stop Trump's endorsed candidate, JD Vance.

We'll see what happens tomorrow.

With 3 Trump-aligned Republicans dividing up the Trump vote, this guy could squeak through.

He’s probably bringing over Democrats. Sticking Republicans with RINOs is likely a Democrat priority.

Open primaries should be illegal.

Electing Assistant Democrats has long been a GOP priority.

Open primaries are a fools game.

Didn’t vote for him. Didn’t vote for DeWine.

His family owns the Cleveland Indians till they decided to call them the guardians. Lots of $.

Kasich and Dewine preferred candidate. If he beats Vance, Tim Ryan will win what should be a Republican safe Senate seat in a state that went 8 points for Trump, twice.

We’d be better off with a draft.

Mitch McConnell getting very excited right now.

That’s why it’s important to vote for Vance.

Trump: We’ve endorsed Dr.Oz. We’ve endorsed JP right? JD Mandell. He’s doing great

Doesn’t Ohio have alot of country club/auto dealer Republicans who are more favorable to Dolan-types? I have to say that i have to give thanks to Ohio to producing both Tafts plus McKinley.

I read his book. Vance is an arrogant prick.

I read Rommel’s book. He was a magnificent bastard.

Is this true or just the narrative they are pushing to make it true?

Anyone on the ground in Ohio to speak to this?

Oh, you are absolutely correct. The Republican Party has become the “get along to go along” party.

But, in this primary, we have a clear signal from Trump through his endorsements for uniting behind non-party favorites. Our only problem, in this regard, seems to be Trump’s poor judgement in character. But, it seems the best shot we can give him, in returning to the White House, to give him the Congress he thinks he wants.

The Democrats undoubtedly know this, too.

Dolan would be a disaster, worse than Portman.
