Nina Turner made it clear on Tuesday night that she was down, but not out, after decisively losing her rematch with U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown for a congressional seat that includes Cleveland, Lakewood and eastern Cuyahoga County.
“I think the great state of California got something to say about what Sister Turner should do,” she said. “The great state of Iowa got something to say about what Sister Turner should do. The great state of Nevada got something to say about what Sister Turner should do.” Turner said voters in the new parts of the district deserved an opportunity to weigh in on who their congressional representative should be.
Of the nearly $4 million that Brown collected in the election cycle, $738,050 came from political action committees. Statisticsshow 36.7% of her donations came from Ohio. She collected more than three times as much money from Ohioans as she did from people in California, which was her second-highest donor state.
President Joe Biden, who endorsed Brown, released his own statement to congratulate her, calling her primary victory “an important step forward toward building a better Ohio and a better America.” He also telephoned Brown on election night, the White House said. University of Virginia political analyst Kyle Kondik, a native of Independence, Ohio, predicted Turner would not be a top-tier presidential contender after losing a congressional primary by such a large margin.
