Ohio: Rep. Davidson Won’t Run for Senate: Citing the closeness of the House Republican majority through the next election, Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Troy) announced yesterday that he will not join the US Senate race to oppose incumbent Sherrod Brown (D) but will seek re-election to his 8th District House seat. Mr. Davidson was first elected in a 2016 special election to replace former House Speaker John Boehner (R).
Though it appeared that Rep. Davidson was preparing to enter the race, he said his decision not to do so was based upon the amount of time that a statewide campaign would take away from his House duties. In the Senate race are state Sen. Matt Dolan (R-Chagrin Falls), a 2022 Senate candidate who is a minority owner of the Cleveland Guardians Major League Baseball Club, and businessman Bernie Moreno, who Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance endorsed last week. Expected to join the campaign next month is GOP Secretary of State Frank LaRose. The Ohio Senate race promises to be one of the most competitive in the nation. West Virginia: New Poll: Manchin Way Behind: East Carolina University released the results of their new West Virginia political poll (5/22-23; 957 WV registered voters; live interview; interactive voice response system; online) and the ballot test results post Gov. Jim Justice to a major 54-32% lead over Sen. Joe Manchin (D). If Rep. Alex Mooney (R-Charles Town) were to win the Republican nomination, he would fall into a toss-up battle with Sen. Manchin, leading 42-41% according to this survey. If these polling results continue, Sen. Manchin may find that running for President on the No Labels Party ticket may be his best political option.
