HOUSE
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Results are in in two primary elections for open seats in the US House of Representatives.
Mike Carey, a Donald Trump-backed coal lobbyist, topped Republicans in central Ohio, while Cuyahoga County Council member Shontel Brown scored a victory for the Democratic establishment in Cleveland,, in two primary elections for open House seats Tuesday.
The contests were viewed as a measure of voters’ mood and influences duriNg a political transition period.
Carey’s race tested the former president’s status as GOP kingmaker, particularly after his preferred candidate lost a Texas special election last week.
Brown’s fight against progressive Nina Turner became a proxy for tensions between Democrats’ old guard and the more confrontational liberals coming up behind it.
