Mike Carey, a coal lobbyist who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, will win the Republican special primary in Ohio's 15th Congressional District, CNN projects.
Carey's win over a crowded primary field that included better-established candidates showcased Trump's power within the party at a key moment. A week earlier, a Trump-endorsed candidate had lost a runoff election in Texas to another Republican -- calling into question the former President's influence now that he is out of office and casting some doubt on his ability to settle scores with old rivals in next year's midterm elections.More Related News
