Trump-backed candidate wins nomination for key US Senate race

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Dolan looks on after embracing his wife, Jessica Dolan, after his loss to J.D. Vance during an election night watch party at the Tavern of Independence on May 3, 2022 in Independence, Ohio. AFPPIX: J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate for the US Senate who had received former president Donald Trump’s endorsement, has won his party’s hotly contested primary in Ohio, US media projected yesterday.

A former Marine and graduate of the Ivy League Yale Law School, Vance first shot to fame with the publication of his 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy, which sought to explain why working class white voters could be drawn to the candidacy of a New York real estate mogul like Trump. Moderate Republicans, including outgoing Senator Rob Portman, fear that Democrats may be able to win the November general election if the Republican nominees support those unfounded claims.

“A lot of the fake news media out there...wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of Donald Trump’s America First Agenda. Ladies and gentlemen, it ain’t the death of the America First Agenda!” said Vance.
