JD Vance
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) conceded the race to Vance Tuesday night with Vance leading 54% to Ryan’s 46%.
Runner-up Josh Mandel, who garnered 23.9% of the vote, told supporters that he looked forward to supporting right-wing pundit, venture capitalist and author J.D. Vance in November when he faces Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan in the general election.
The outcome will be seen as a measure of former President Donald Trump’s ability to play kingmaker after his endorsement of Senate candidate J.D. Vance.
