Although Turner was originally a vocal leader in the “Ready for Hillary” Clinton presidential effort in 2014, she became one of Bernie Sanders’s most prominent surrogates in the actual 2016 presidential campaign. Afterwards, Turner flirted with an offer to be Jill Stein’s running mate and declined to back Clinton against Donald Trump in the general election.
Although Turner initially ran to the center, she eventually embraced the party’s left after she plummeted in the polls. The former Sanders surrogate brought him to Ohio along with a variety of other high profile backers of his campaign in the closing days of the race, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In another Ohio special election, the leader of the Republican Party had a good night as well. Trump’s candidate in an otherwise low stakes primary for a congressional seat outside of Columbus won, only one week after a Trump-endorsed candidate lost a Republican runoff in a special election in Texas. In Ohio, he backed Mike Carey, a coal lobbyist and longtime friend of Trump’s first campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, in a crowded Republican primary to replace outgoing Rep. Steve Stivers.
