As the leading candidates tried to one-up each other in showcasing their support and loyalty to Trump, the nomination battle turned increasingly antagonistic. Things got so heated that two leading contenders - 2018 Ohio Republican Senate candidate Mike Gibbons, a Cleveland entrepreneur, real estate developer and investment banker, and former Ohio treasurer and former two-time Senate candidate Josh Mandel - nearly came to blows at a debate.
The winner of the GOP primary will face off in November’s general election against Ryan, who's long represented a district in northeastern Ohio. Ryan's promoted populist policies popular with working class voters during his years in Congress and during an unsuccessful bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
DeWine is fairly popular in the state but angered many on the right over the restrictions he implemented at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. He is widely expected to win, though.While Trump has criticized DeWine in the past, he did not make an endorsement in the gubernatorial primary. There are also a handful of consequential congressional primaries, with most of the action on the Republican side.
