Ohio Rep. Davidson considering run for Senate or governor, urges GOP to ‘pick a side’ on internal divide

ORLANDO, Fla. — Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, said on Saturday that he is considering running for either Ohio governor or U.S. senator from Ohio in 2022, as he harshly criticized incumbent Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who is eligible to run for reelection next year. 

Davidson is one of the more vocal members of the pro-Trump wing of the House GOP. He has criticized Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., for her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump, and he has been a vocal critic of DeWine’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. 

“I have considered the Ohio Senate, you know, senator for the state of Ohio. I was surprised that Senator Portman wasn’t running. And, look, it’s flattering to have my name come up in that race and frankly, in the governor’s race,” Davidson said in an interview with Fox News during the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). “So we’re taking a hard look at our options.”
