In the 2024 Ohio Senate GOP Primary, a significant division has emerged within the Republican Party, highlighted by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's endorsement of Matt Dolan, which puts him at odds with former President Donald Trump's preferred candidate. DeWine, alongside his wife Fran, publicly endorsed State Senator Matt Dolan, citing him as a 'proven conservative' and the 'strongest candidate to beat Sherrod Brown in the fall.' This move has sparked reactions across the political spectrum, with some supporting DeWine's choice and others, including Trump, backing businessman Bernie Moreno. Trump's endorsement of Moreno is shared by notable figures such as JD Vance and Jim Jordan, marking a clear rift within the party. The race has been framed by some as 'Team America First vs Team RINO,' with Dolan also endorsed by Rob Portman and the leftwing Cleveland Plain Dealer Editorial Board, and his critics labeling him as the most liberal Republican in the Senate race, criticizing his positions on various issues.
