Trump scored a much-needed victory in the GOP primary in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District.
Carey won in a crowded field of about a dozen contenders based almost solely on Trump’s endorsement. Carey, a virtual unknown before winning the former president’s support in June, ultimately won by more than 20 points over his nearest competition.
A victory by Carey was sorely needed after Trump suffered a setback in a Texas special House runoff last week.
In that race, Susan Wright, who had the former president’s endorsement, lost to Jake Ellzey, another Republican who had the backing of the GOP establishment.
