J D Vance wins the Ohio primary for Senate, handily. Club for Growth loses.
...When Trump endorsed Vance in mid-April, ahead of the May 3 primary on Tuesday, donor class forces rushed into action not to support the former President of the United States but to actively work against him in the U.S. Senate race. The Club for Growth, as Breitbart News has previously reported, doubled down with more ad buys in favor of former state Treasurer Josh Mandel’s candidacy — spending even more when Trump and his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. criticized the group. The usually conservative Club is on the same side as Trump in many races nationwide, such as in Nevada where they both support former Attorney General Adam Laxalt for U.S. Senate or North Carolina where they both support Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) for U.S. Senate. But the fissures in Ohio have gotten particularly nasty, where Trump’s team is calling the group the “Club for Chinese Growth” — a reference to the organization’s ardent opposition to any use of tariffs to rein in China whatsoever, a severe departure from the core of Trump’s nationalist populist policies.....
The Club is an 'economic libertarian' bunch, so to speak. As the supply-chain troubles increase and begin to bite hard as they are now, "global sourcing" looks worse and worse.
Wait until there's a REAL war to see how bad it will get.
