The primary election in Ohio stood as the first real test this midterm election season of former President Donald Trump's status as the Republican Party kingmaker — and he passed.

DeWine fought off three far-right challengers in the GOP primary and will be a favorite again in November against Whaley.

“Hillbilly Elegy” author JD Vance has won Ohio’s contentious and hyper-competitive GOP Senate primary, buoyed by Donald Trump’s endorsement in a race widely seen as an early test of the former president’s hold on his party.

Former Dayton, Ohio, Mayor Nan Whaley has won the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor and will face incumbent Republican Mike DeWine this fall.

Ohio’s Republican governor won high marks early in the pandemic with his stay-at-home mandates.

Ohio's primary election is scheduled for May 3, and it's just six weeks away.

Several Republicans competing for the party’s nomination to run for U.S. Senate in Ohio are facing scrutiny for their ties to Russia as the country intensifies its war against Ukraine.

GOP Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says he has no regrets about his response to the coronavirus pandemic, even if Republican voters who thought he went too far are angry enough to vote him out in the upcoming May primary.

Jim Renacci raised a paltry $22,000 during the first three weeks of his gubernatorial campaign, leading Ohio Republicans to question his chances of ousting Gov. Mike DeWine in next April’s GOP primary.

Renacci claims he has polling showing that many Ohio GOP base voters don't support DeWine.
