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.
