John L. Dorman at Yahoo News reports:
- Trump had an "Apprentice"-like meeting with four Ohio GOP Senate candidates.
- The candidates all did their best to prove their loyalty to the former president.
- A potential endorsement from Trump could give a candidate an enormous edge among GOP voters.
Former President Donald Trump may
be far from his old New York boardroom, but on Wednesday he gave four Ohio GOP
Senate candidates the type of grilling famously depicted on his long-running
reality television series "The Apprentice," according to Politico.
Before a fundraiser at his golf
club in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump had the candidates - former state
Treasurer Josh Mandel, former state GOP Chairwoman Jane Timken, investment
banker Mike Gibbons, and businessman Bernie Moreno - sit together for a
backroom meeting.
The four Republicans are set to run
for Ohio's open Senate seat in 2022, which will be vacated by two-term GOP Sen.
Rob Portman at the end of his term.
The candidates were all in Florida to attend the event for Max Miller, a Trump-backed candidate who is seeking to unseat GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez in a primary and win the general election in Ohio's heavily-Republican 16th Congressional District.
