The past week has been a whirlwind in Ohio Republican politics. On the ground in the Buckeye State and in Washington, Republican operatives are relieved that the drama is about to come to a close.

Ohioans will nominate on Tuesday their GOP candidate to take on Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown — setting the stage for what’s expected to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country this cycle. Voters will choose between three high-profile Republican candidates: state senator Matt Dolan, Donald Trump–endorsed businessman Bernie Moreno, and Ohio secretary of state Frank LaRose, all of whom have spent the past few weeks brutally attacking each other in ads and on the stump.
