I think it's safe to say that as a Democrat I'll be supporting either Cordray or Sutton...but unless Republicans just don't campaign, they're favored here. All four of their candidates have serious name recognition advantages...and if I were a Democrat, which I am, I'd be especially afraid of DeWine or Husted winning the Primary.
lol
No one other than Husted or DeWine can win the primary.
Doesn't Renacci have money and a very Trumpy profile?
He is independently wealthy, but he's not going anywhere. At best, he'll act as a spoiler and push DeWine over the edge against Husted.
DeWine has name ID in the 90% range and a 60% approval rating.
If Trump is still popular among Ohio Republicans, it's possible Renacci pulls off the upset. The only Republican who can't win (and currently is in the race) is Taylor, who is too closely aligned to the unpopular Kasich administration. She might be better off switching to the Senate race, and taking on Mandel.
