3 candidates now officially in the race to succeed Rep. Marcia L. Fudge in Congress
.............................
"Nina Turner is now the third candidate to announce their candidacy in the 11th district, following Cuyahoga Council Councilwoman and County Democratic Party Chair Shontel Brown as well as former Ohio State Sen. Jeff Johnson. Brown confirmed to 3News' Russ Mitchell last week that she was running, while Johnson made his intentions public just days later."

The race is expected to be yet another battle between the establishment and progressive wings of the Democratic Party. Brown has long cited the political veteran Fudge as one of her mentors, while Johnson has attacked Turner for her criticisms of President-elect Biden and other party leaders.
"A lot of folks want to know, when we go to Washington, who we will stand with," Johnson told BuzzFeed News, while also citing his strong relationships with members of the Bernie Sanders faction. "I will stand with Biden–Harris. There will be no question about that."
Should Fudge be confirmed to serve in Biden's cabinet, Gov. Mike DeWine would have to set a date for a special election to replace her. The governor congratulated Fudge last week during one of his COVID-19 press conferences, but has not yet indicated when the special election could be."

When Nina Turner made the troubling remark regarding the then Democratic nominee Joe Biden in July 2019:
“It’s like saying to somebody, ‘You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing.’ It’s still sh-t,” Turner said at the time."
The progressive caucus, which include those who are referred to as "The Squad", by some media outlets, have never used such disrespectful terms toward Joe Biden, or for that manner toward any Democrat, and because of that I think that would make her a poor choice to replace Representative Marcia Fudge.
It also should not be forgotten her words and actions toward Hillary, after Hillary became the Democratic nominee
