All eyes on Trump as Timken gains momentum in Ohio
| Ohio Sen. Rob Portman’s (R ) endorsement of Republican Senate candidate Jane Timken could alter the dynamics of the state’s crowded GOP primary and give Timken a needed boost.
Portman, who is retiring next year, on Wednesday offered Timken the race’s most high-profile endorsement to date. Timken will likely get access to the senator’s vast donor network and campaign apparatus in the state, where Portman is popular. Timken’s campaign said it raised $250,000 in the 24 hours after Portman endorsed her. Some strategists are also asking if Portman’s endorsement could foreshadow a potential endorsement from former President Trump. |
