Ohio democrats are working to sway anti-Trump voters as a result of Tuesday's primary election.
"Matt Dolan, who was the anti-Trump candidate in the Republican primary, got 23 percent of the vote," he said."He said the election was legitimate, he didn't go kiss Trump's ring, and he got 23 percent of the vote. And those voters are going to be Tim Ryan voters. We're going hard after them."
But while Democrats have interpreted Dolan's voter turnout as an optimistic sign they could flip Ohio's"It's wishful thinking for Ohio Democrats to think that they can capture Matt Dolan's votes," political strategist Matt Klink told"Ohio has trended red for the last eight years and while it makes sense for the Democrats to try for these votes, J.D. Vance has done an excellent job of securing the support of his GOP competitors," Klink said.
In a statement conceding the election to Vance, Dolan endorsed his rival, saying:"Just as I will never quit fighting for Ohio, I pledge to unite our party and endorse J.D. Vance to be our next U.S. senator."
