Former President Trump heads to Ohio Saturday to support the Republican Senate candidate he's endorsed in the state's increasingly contentious GOP primary.

Donald Trump is aiming for a repeat performance. Two years ago, the former president backed JD Vance in Ohio's crowded and combative Republican Senate nomination race, boosting Vance to victory in the GOP primary a couple weeks later. Fast-forward to the present and Trump is returning to Ohio this weekend to once again support the Republican Senate candidate he endorsed in the state's increasingly contentious GOP primary.

The showdown in Ohio is one of the few major down-ballot GOP primaries where the Trump-backed candidate is at risk of losing. 'Trump's got a lot invested in Bernie Moreno,' veteran Republican strategist Matt Gorman said. Longtime Ohio-based GOP consultant Mike Hartley, who remains neutral in this year's primary, told Fox News 'it's important to Trump, evidenced by the fact that he's coming into the state, just like he did for JD Vance.
