Republican Senate candidate JD Vance won Tuesday night’s Ohio Senate race, soundly defeating Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan by nearly 300,000 votes.
Vance’s bid had been viewed as a key battle for Republican control of the Senate after the “Hillbilly Elegy” author announced his candidacy during an appearance on Fox News with Tucker Carlson last year
Vance had faced criticism from some conservative Republicans for voting against 45th President Donald Trump in the 2016 election, and instead supporting Evan McMullin, the so-called “Never Trump” conservative presidential candidate.
However, Vance would later switch his tune and become a staunch ally of the former president, who officially endorsed him in April in what was a tight Ohio Republican Senate primary race.
“Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not so great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades,” Trump noted. “He is our best chance for victory in what could be a very tough race,” adding that the endorsement was not “easy” to make.
Massive Victory Tonight!

After winning 53.6% of the vote to Ryan’s 46.3%, Vance will ascend to his future seat in the Senate after running against issues like border security, crime, Big Tech censorship, and election integrity — all of which attributed to his pivotal Trump endorsement.
Vance’s victory comes one day after President Trump joined him during an election-eve rally in Dayton in which he hinted to a future 2024 Presidential run.
“Not to detract from tomorrow’s very important – even critical – election,” Trump told the crowd at the Ohio rally alongside Vance, “I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, November 15, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.”

I came to comments to see what others had to say about Vance and all I found were two girls telling me how much money they were making. Why don’t I care?

TYRANNY
You can’t vote your way out of it.. It’s never happened in human history..
Now buckle up for the BLAME Trump Tour and the prop up desantis parade.. Trump and election deniers is what cost us the election that’s what the rinos will tell us and a lot of people will buy it because they’re idiots..
Trump scared the powers that be so much that they said F it we’re cheating way more than ever before and we will make sure this man and his ilk never get power.. People who don’t can’t or won’t admit that are sad people who love tyrants.. The rage and anger and rush to destroy Trump and MAGA should speak volumes but common sense isn’t common..

Now Ohio needs to boot Brown. LYIN’ Ryan hopefully did not get to keep his seat in the House. He LIED about everything he did while there. Vance was not my first choice for that seat in the Senate but at least he is not a Democrap named so for the WORTHLESS FECAL MATTER overflowing their otherwise empty skulls and out their ever flapping lips. Ryan could not hide from his record in the House and Neither can Brown. America needs President Trump back in office Democraps are out to DESTROY America and do it while making money for them. Look at who they CHEATED into Office a Pedophile who allowed both his brother and Son sell access to him so long as He(Pedo Joe) got his 10%.
