Vance in the state's high-stakes GOP Senate primary on May 3. that Trump was about to put his weight behind Vance - who's currently polling in third place in the crowded field - but allies of rival candidates Josh Mandel, the state's former treasurer, and Jane Timken, a former Ohio Republican Party chair, held up the announcement. that more than three dozen GOP chairs and state party central committee members signed a letter asking Trump not to endorse Vance, pointing out to the ex-president that the author 'referred to your supporters as "racists" and proudly voted for Evan McMullin in 2016.'
