After mistakenly announcing his concession before the polls even closed, Myers explained to the Washington Examiner how it happened.
mistakenly announced that he had conceded defeat before, less than 10 minutes later, the campaign said to “disregard the email.”
The email said Myers is looking forward to “uniting behind and working with him to get President Trump re-elected to the White House and evicting Joe Biden,” as well as “staying in the arena of Ohio politics and working with all Republicans to make Ohio great again!” Attention Press: My campaign comms team has sent out an email in error as we prepare for both possible outcomes tonight. The polls remain open until 7:30 p.m. Please disregard the email. Thank you.“Two emails were prepared for this evening: one declaring a victory and one conceding the race. The concession email was sent in error as it was being loaded into the media distribution portal, as a draft, in the event of a loss,” the campaign said.
