Lordy, Ohio Republicans Are Running QAnon's Majewski Again

Sen. J.D. Vance on Monday endorsed JR Majewski, a QAnon ally who was one of his party's very worst nominees for any office in 2022, in his second campaign to take on Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in a red-leaning Ohio seat. Vance's move comes at a time when hard-right critics are trashing former state Rep. Craig Riedel, the party's ostensible frontrunner in the March Republican primary for Ohio's 9th District, for appearing to attack Donald Trump days before.

Majewski beat Riedel 36-31 last year before losing to Kaptur in a 57-43 landslide, and Republicans like then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and 7th District Rep. Max Miller backed Riedel's second try for this seat. However, far-right personality Charlie Kirk shared audio last week where Riedel ostensibly agreed when an unidentified person asked if he was "making it a point that you don't want Trump's endorsement."
