Senate hopeful JD Vance tied in polls ahead of Ohio primary

The Republican primary in Ohio is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with just days left till voters hit the polls in a high-profile U.S. Senate contest that’s also seen as a key test for President Donald Trump’s position in the GOP.

The latest RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Trump-backed “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance dead even with Josh Mandel, an ex–state treasurer. Ohio Republicans vote on May 3. The winner of the GOP primary is likely to face U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat with a commanding lead in his party’s Senate primary. The victors of each party’s primary will compete for the seat of retiring Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican.

They are both dismal, the way to look at the primary is to ask ourselves which of the two assholes would be easier for Tim Ryan to beat in the General Election.

With Fentanyl....

Vance is a dangerous, vile man who has no moral compunction whatsoever and who will clearly sell whatever lies he needs to to gain votes. Plus he's an overrated writer, but that's beside the point
