The seven Republicans running for U.S. Senate in Ohio are united in their belief that President Joe Biden is doing a bad job, and only one of them says Biden is the legitimate president.
The falsehood that former President Donald Trump was the true winner of the 2020 presidential election has dominated the Republican primary campaign for senate.
“The election in 2020 was stolen from Donald J. Trump,” said former Ohio treasurer Josh Mandel of Beachwood. “Even though Trump won Ohio, I guarantee you he won by a higher margin than was even reported.”
The other Republican primary candidates who cite a raft of debunked theories in saying the election was stolen are businessman Mike Gibbons of Fairview Park, businessman Neil Patel of Westerville, businessman Mark Pukita of Dublin, and author and businessman J.D. Vance of Cincinnati.
Jane Timken, former Ohio Republican Party chair, called for more investigations of the election.
