GOP Rep. Jim Renacci Announces Ohio Senate Bid: Trump Asked Me to Run

EXCERPT:

RENACCI: "Look, it’s funny how a week has gone because last week, as you said, I was running in the governor’s race and I said the only way I would jump is if I did get a call from the White House and the White House did call on Tuesday. I was there on Wednesday. And, look, they asked me to jump into this race. I have been a supporter of the President’s agenda. I supported the President during the Ohio primary, which as you know was a difficult situation back then knowing that Governor Kasich was running as well. The President knows I've supported his agenda from then all the way through to today. He basically asked me to get in the race and this president wants to help me with this race. And it’s been a whirlwind 48 hours, that’s for sure."
