Ohio GovMikeDeWine defeated a primary challenge and won renomination from Republicans in the state on Tuesday.
DeWine, who took office in 2019, defeated a Republican primary field that included former Rep. Jim Renacci, businessman and farmer Joe Blystone, and former state Rep. Ron Hood.DeWine, who has governed as a conservative, including the enactment of tax cuts and anti-abortion measures, sparked the anger of some activists for his approach to the COVID-19 pandemic.
DeWine co-chaired Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign in Ohio but afterward did not embrace the former president's unfounded claims that the election was stolen. Trump won the state, which may have helped DeWine avoid the revenge the ex-president has sought to exact on other Republican officials who did not back his 2020 claims, such as Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
