WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s allies could soon add another U.S. House member to their ranks, as Ohio voters head to the polls in a district the Republican former president carried comfortably in 2020.

In March, primary voters selected two nominees to Tuesday’s special general election: Democrat Michael Kripchak and Republican Michael Rulli. Rulli is campaigning as a “pro-Trump” candidate. Johnson won his last four elections by more than 30 percentage points. And Trump last carried the district by roughly 30 percentage points.
