Cybersecdn– JR Majewski, an Air Force veteran and congressional candidate in Ohio, has officially announced his withdrawal from the Ohio House Republican race. The decision comes amidst early voting in Ohio and was solidified in a post made by Majewski on Saturday.
Majewski cited reasons for his withdrawal, attributing it to the “deep state” and clarified that former President Trump did not request him to end his bid. He expressed confidence in his ability to win but voiced concerns about potential opposition from the “Deep State” and anticipated attacks on his family, including accusations of stolen valor.
Although Majewski believed he could have succeeded, he stated that dedicating his energy to supporting Trump in the 2024 presidential race would be the best course of action to represent the voices of those who feel marginalized by the Washington elite.
This isn’t Majewski’s first foray into politics. He was the GOP nominee in 2022 and was endorsed by Trump. However, his campaign faced significant setbacks after it was revealed that he had lied about serving in combat in Afghanistan. Additionally, he encountered backlash for using an ableist slur during a podcast appearance.
