5 things to know about Tuesday's election results: Vivek, Ohio and Indiana

By Ryan Foley, Christian Post Reporter
5. Trump’s endorsements hold up well in Indiana and Ohio

As voters headed to the polls Tuesday, Trump reminded his supporters to vote for his preferred candidates in Indiana and Ohio in a series of posts on Truth Social. In addition to Ramaswamy and Husted, all Republican U.S. House of Representatives candidates endorsed by Trump in Ohio won their primaries. Reps. Troy Balderson, Mike Carey, Warren Davidson, Jim Jordan, Dave Joyce, Bob Latta, Max Miller, Mike Rulli, Dave Taylor and Mike Turner either won renomination unopposed or easily defeated their primary opponents. 

Trump also endorsed Eric Conroy in the race for Ohio’s 1st Congressional District, currently held by Democrat Greg Landsman. Ohio’s 1st Congressional District became more favorable to Republicans in the mid-decade redistricting in the state, transforming from a seat Harris carried by about 6.5 percentage points in the 2024 election to a district that would have supported Trump by about 2.6 percentage points. Unofficial results from Tuesday’s primaries show Conroy easily defeating his opponents for the right to take on Landsman in November. 

In a series of Truth Social posts Tuesday, Trump highlighted how all seven Republican members of Indiana’s congressional delegation, whom he endorsed, won renomination. Reps. Jim Baird, Eric Houchin, Mark Messmer, Jefferson Shreve, Victoria Spartz, Marlin Stutzman and Rudy Yakym all advanced to the general election by winning their respective primaries. 

Both Democrats in Indiana’s congressional delegation as well as all five Democrats in Ohio’s congressional delegation won re-election. In addition to Landsman, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, saw her district become more favorable to Republicans in mid-decade redistricting. Under the old map, Trump won her district by about 6.5 percentage points. That margin increased to about 10.5 percentage points in the new district.
