CNN: Jim Jordan won't run for Ohio US Senate seat in 2022
Jim Jordan won't run for Ohio US Senate seat in 2022
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/28/politics/jim-jordan-not-running-for-senate/index.html
(CNN)Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican and a fierce defender of former President Donald Trump, won't run for the US Senate next year to fill the seat of the retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman, according to a spokesperson for his congressional campaign.
Jordan will instead run for reelection for his US House seat, the spokesperson said.
Jordan's decision leaves what is expected to be a very crowded field of GOP candidates for the primary next year without a clear front-runner. Just some of the possible Republican candidates include J.D. Vance, the author of "Hillbilly Elegy," and Josh Mandel, who dropped out of the 2018 GOP primary race to challenge Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is also seriously eying a Senate bid, along with at least four other Republican members of Congress: Reps. Steve Stivers, Brad Wenstrup, Mike Turner and Warren Davidson.
While it is early in the race and no one candidate was positioned to consolidate Republican voters, Jordan's high profile as a prominent Trump ally put him among the most visible GOP candidates. Had Jordan decided to run, he could have potentially cleared the GOP field -- or set up an early test of Trump's political standing among GOP voters following the Capitol riots.
