Jon Husted, a GOP Senator from Ohio who was recently appointed to replace now-Vice President JD Vance, has received the “complete and total” endorsement of former President Donald Trump to run again next year in a special election to serve out the rest of Vance’s term through 2028. Trump’s endorsement was seen as a key factor in Vance’s victory in the 2022 Ohio Senate race and the success of GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno in defeating longtime Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November. Husted expressed confidence in his election prospects, citing his past statewide victories and Trump’s endorsement as a significant boost.
Since being sworn into office, Husted has been actively working on getting President Trump’s agenda accomplished, including advancing tax cuts for working families and small businesses, securing the border, and deporting illegal immigrant criminals. The completion of the reconciliation package in both the House and the Senate has been a priority for Husted, who is eager to continue serving and working towards the president’s goals. While Husted is uncertain about his potential opponent in the upcoming election, he remains focused on connecting with the people of Ohio and delivering on the America first agenda, emphasizing key policies such as securing the border, upholding common sense values, and supporting Made in America initiatives.
Husted has emphasized the importance of regulatory reform, drawing on his experience in Ohio where 5 million words were eliminated from the state’s regulatory code of 17 million. He aims to implement similar reforms at the federal level by leveraging AI tools to simplify the regulatory code and make it more understandable to average Americans. By streamlining regulations, Husted believes that the American entrepreneurial spirit can be unleashed, saving time and money for businesses and individuals. Looking ahead, Husted outlined his priorities for the next 100 days, which include advancing the president’s tax package, balancing the budget, restoring fiscal sanity, and providing predictability to the tax code.
Despite the uncertainty of his potential opponent in the upcoming election, Husted remains focused on his own work and delivering on the promises of the America first agenda. He stressed the importance of securing the border, promoting common sense values, and supporting the economy through initiatives like Made in America. With a 53-47 GOP majority in the Senate, Husted’s race will be closely watched as he aims to continue the work he has started in Washington. President Trump recently lauded Husted as a “wonderful man” who is “doing an incredible job,” further solidifying support for his candidacy. Husted’s commitment to delivering on key policies and his partnership with the former president are expected to play a significant role in his reelection campaign.
