This weekend, I was proud to watch President Trump secure another major victory in South Carolina. The idea that President Trump is not going to be our nominee has officially withered on the vine, and it’s time to unite our party.

I’ve long said that President Trump is not a conventional politician. He has great appeal to regular voters, which stands in stark contrast to the decline we are seeing under Joe Biden.

People making an honest living know that Joe Biden and Sherrod Brown’s policies have been a disaster for working families. Buying a family home, used car, and even groceries has become almost unattainable because of rising costs and inflationary spending. In fact, 60% of Americans are still living paycheck to paycheck as inflation crushes workers’ wages.

As I travel Ohio, I am reminded of all the reasons we fight so hard for Republicans to succeed in November. At the end of the day, we are a big-tent party that is focused on working-class Ohioans and making their lives better. Sherrod Brown is once again selling his bag of goods to Ohio’s workers, but many families have already caught on to his game.

He rides on the backs of working Ohioans to get him elected, then disappears into the D.C. swamp for five years until it is time to reemerge for an election.

It is long past time to end Sherrod’s fifty-year political career.

Tomorrow is the start of early voting for the March 19, 2024 Primary Election, and we need as many Republicans as possible to get out and “Bank Your Vote.”

While the focus of the Ohio Republican Party is always on winning in November, there are many important races going on across the state for the 2024 primary. From the courthouse to the White House, there are strong conservative candidates who are fighting for your vote. I have a deep respect for anyone willing to step into the political arena, and I encourage you to do your research and make an informed decision before casting your vote for your preferred Republican candidates.

Last night, I had the opportunity to see three of those candidates face off at Findlay University for the second U.S. Senate Republican Primary debate. I enjoyed the robust discussion and came away feeling more confident than ever that we are going to finally retire Sherrod Brown after fifty years of running for elected office. 

Each of the candidates on stage would be a vast improvement over the far-left career politician who occupies that seat and will be a strong voice for the people of Ohio alongside Senator J.D. Vance.

I hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy Superbowl Sunday with friends and family. In my mind, the end of the NFL season is always a good indicator that we will really begin to see the campaign season ramp up, especially with critical races like the U.S. Senate and Presidency on the ballot.

One thing is as clear as ever—Joe Biden is unfit to lead this great nation as Commander-in-Chief. Last week, a bombshell report was released that says Biden “willfully” retained classified documents but won’t be charged because he’s an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

We have known for a long time that Joe Biden does not have the mental acuity to make the important decisions for our country, but this report strongly underscores the need to retire Joe Biden and send President Trump back to the White House.

Biden will also be in Ohio this week to finally get his campaign photo-op in East Palestine, albeit a year late and a dollar short. Despite this half-hearted attempt to save face, this is clearly just another failure from the most divisive president of my lifetime.

As always, I look forward to continuing my travels around Ohio and seeing you on the campaign trail. Thank you for all of the work that has already been done for our GOP candidates, but there is much more to do.

God Bless,

COLUMBUS–Today, Chairman Alex Triantafilou released the following statement on the announcement that Joe Biden will finally visit East Palestine:

“This clumsy Biden Administration has now decided to visit the good people of East Palestine only as a campaign stop to try and resuscitate his collapsed presidency. How foolishly transparent. When the victims there needed Joe Biden, he was out to lunch. Too little, too late.” – Chairman Alex Triantafilou, Ohio Republican Party

In case you missed it… Earlier this year, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio GRANTED a motion for the Ohio Republican Party to intervene against Marc Elias’ lawsuit to undermine House Bill 458, which included commonsense election protections such as requiring photo ID.

Today, those efforts paid off as a federal judge threw out the lawsuit from left-leaning groups challenging a Republican-backed Ohio law requiring voters to show ID at the polls and altering the state’s early-voting times, among other changes.

Ohio GOP Chair Alex Triantafilou, in a statement responding to the order, said, “Election integrity is integral to our system of government, and the Ohio Republican Party will always fight for commonsense measures to secure fair and accurate elections.”

“HB 458 at most requires only a tiny fraction of Ohio voters to modify their voting behavior—and imposes nothing more than minimal burdens to do so,” the Ohio GOP’s motion for summary judgment stated. The motion also asserted that the plaintiffs in the lawsuit “failed to identify even a single voter who was prevented from—or even impeded in—voting in” statewide elections held in May and August last year.
