The eleventh district\u2019s special election will replace Representative Marcia Fudge, who recently became the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for the Biden administration.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 15th district\u2019s race has a full field of Republican candidates, but only one of them has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Trump endorsed Mike Carey, who previously worked in the energy industry as an executive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In his endorsement, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/careyforcongress.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Mike Carey, who is running for Congress int he Great State of Ohio, was born and raised in the 15th District. He will be a courageous fighter for the people and our economy, is strong on the Border, and tough on Crime.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>As a veteran, he totally supports our Military and his fellow Vets. A strong supporter of the Second Amendment, Mike will do an outstanding job in Congress. He has my Complete and Total Endorsement!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/02\/us\/politics\/ohio-house-elections.html\">reported<\/a> on Tuesday:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p class=\"p3\"><i>Last week, the pro-Trump group Make America Great Again Action made a last-minute purchase of nearly $350,000 in text messages, digital ads and television commercials in support of Mr. Carey. And Mr. Carey has pointed to the Trump seal of approval as his main selling point. When he filled out a candidate questionnaire for USA Today\u2019s Ohio bureau, for instance, the first thing he wrote as his answer to a question about why voters should pick him was \u201cFirst, I am honored to have President Trump\u2019s endorsement.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The primary comes after the candidate who was endorsed by Trump in a special runoff election in Texas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2021\/07\/27\/susan-wright-jake-ellzey-texas-6-congressional-seat\/\"><span class=\"s1\">didn\u2019t<\/span><\/a> win last week. Trump had endorsed Republican Susan Wright, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/27\/us\/texas-congress-susan-wright-jake-ellzey.html\"><span class=\"s1\">husband<\/span><\/a> held the seat before he died after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this year. Wright lost the special election to state Representative Jake Ellzey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the more Democratic-leaning eleventh district, two Democratic candidates are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/08\/03\/1023943187\/voters-are-set-to-decide-a-hard-fought-democratic-primary-in-ohio\">leading<\/a> the polls who have different approaches to specific policies. Former state Senator Nina Turner and Councilwoman Shontel Brown are the candidates who many are watching on election day. Brown is considered by some to be more of a Democratic establishment candidate with the backing of Hillary Clinton and the Congressional Black Caucus PAC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the contrary, members of the so-called \u201csquad\u201d have endorsed Turner. In July, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/ohio-house-primary-elections\/2021\/08\/03\/14b00716-f15d-11eb-bf80-e3877d9c5f06_story.html\"><span class=\"s1\">told<\/span><\/a> voters, \u201cPlease send me Nina\u2026We need Nina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Democratic Majority for Israel\u2019s PAC also supported Brown over Turner, who has voiced <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ninaturner\/status\/1392328115909664774?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1392328115909664774%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fjewishinsider.com%2F2021%2F05%2Fnina-turner-and-shontel-brown-diverge-on-israel-gaza-conflict%2F\">support<\/a> for pro-Palestinian protests.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.0212765957447\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Solidarity is a verb \u270a\ud83c\udffe <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Kupgdtuqey\">https:\/\/t.co\/Kupgdtuqey<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nina Turner (@ninaturner) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ninaturner\/status\/1392328115909664774?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 12, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">They also reportedly distributed ads that showed Turner had not been supportive of President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe knew it was coming, because of my experience with Sen.

Medicare-for-all, increasing the minimum wage, canceling student debt, environmental justice, racial justice, all the things I\u2019ve been working for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The results of the primaries might reveal important insight into the place of both parties before the highly-anticipated 2022 elections where Republicans could potentially take control of both the House and Senate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
