One of the biggest, most competitive, GOP Senate primaries gets even bigger
Fox News
Another Republican candidate is jumping into the 2022 race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, which is one of the most crowded and combustible GOP Senate primaries in the country.
But Dolan, a longtime state lawmaker whose family owns Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians (which will be renamed the Cleveland Guardians starting next season), also indirectly took aim at the Republican candidates already running, saying "it’s clear that the focus of the race for the U.S. Senate has yet to be about our people, our interests, and our beloved state. This changes today with the announcement of my candidacy for U.S. Senate."
And the narrator in Dolan’s campaign launch video said "what if Ohio’s next senator didn’t just talk big and loud, but had a real record of conservative success. What if our next senator didn’t pander about reducing government and cutting taxes but already did it, repeatedly."
