Former President Trump wasn’t on the ballot, but he was one of the winners as the candidate he backed won a GOP primary in a special House election in Ohio's 15th Congressional District on Tuesday. Trump carried the district by 15 points his 2016 presidential election victory and by 14 points in last November’s reelection defeat. Trump headlined a tele-rally for Carey on Monday night, on the eve of the primary. NUMBER THREE HOUSE DEMOCRAT TAKES SIDES IN DIVISIVE CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY IN OHIOWhile Carey came out on top in the 15th District, Cuyahoga County councilwoman Shontel Brown defeated former state Sen. Nina Turner in the Democratic congressional primary in Ohio’s 11th District. For progressives, it’s another high-profile loss to more moderate Democratic candidates, following setbacks earlier this year in a special congressional election in Louisiana, the party’s off-year nominating contests in Virginia, and the New York City mayoral primary.
