As a Dem Renacci or Gibbons would be fine. At least Renacci has a voting record to attack and is a sleazy businessman while Gibbons is an establishment tied investment banker who doesn't seem like he would excite Trumpist.

"My loved one is sick with an undisclosed illness" has been used as an excuse before for candidates running bad campaigns looking for a way to bow out.

I think this one might actually be over. Hope Mandel's wife is okay.

While I think Mandel is a complete PoS, I hope his wife is okay and gotta give him credit for doing the right thing here.

For all of his faults, I think Mandel is stronger than Taylor. By a mile.

For what it's worth, a lot has changed since March 2016. And Kasich was a favorite son.

I wouldn't call someone's wife being ill to the point of having to end a campaign "good."

Perhaps his wife is ill, but the way the cycle is shaping up probably factored into his decision.

I’ll refrain from commenting on the guy since I don’t really have anything nice to say, but hopefully his wife gets better and they all hold up alright.

Kasich's out according to longtime friend/strategist John Weaver

To all the press calling, the answer is no. Bigger fish to fry. #TwoPaths







Anyone else notice the whole "Bigger fish to fry" thing?

I couldn't possibly know what Weaver could be referring to here!

I hope his wife recovers. Let's be honest, Mandel probably wouldn't have won anyway. I never bought Brown being more vulnerable than Tester or Manchin anyway.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones, an early Trump supporter, evidently considering.

I'd argue they're of similar vulnerability. I think Ohio was never that likely to go Republican anyway, it's just moreso than Wisconsin or Pennsylvania.

Considering everyone thought (knew) Mandel was a weak candidate, I don't see how him dropping out hurts the GOP.

So I guess Rennacci is the favorite.

Renacci might be. Gibbons just pledged to loan his campaign $5 mil. Though, of course, Renacci is also a self-funder and loaned his Gubernatorial campaign $4 mil, which he can give back to himself, and then loan out to his Senate campaign.

I hope Mandel's wife is OK.

That said, I don't see why this makes Brown less vulnerable. Mandel would have been a worse candidate than most OH Republicans.

Mandel is still quite popular with Trump voters and benefits from good name ID.

Getting in this late is will prove to be a major hurdle for damn near everyone.
