After Vice President JD Vance endorsed his younger half-brother Cory Bowman for mayor of Cincinnati on the day of the city's primary election, Bowman took a very distant second place to Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval, but secured a spot on November's ballot.

On Tuesday, the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, held their primary election to determine who would earn a spot on November's mayoral ballot.

The city's mayoral race is nonpartisan—no parties appear next to candidates' names on the primary or general election ballots. The top two vote getters in the primary, regardless of their party affiliation, vie for the office.

Tuesday's primary saw three people on the ballot:

  • incumbent Democrat Aftab Pureval
  • Republican Brian Frank
  • Republican Cory Bowman

But only one candidate had an endorsement coming straight from the Trump administration.

Evangelical pastor and coffee shop owner Cory Bowman received the support of Vice President JD Vance midday on Tuesday. Bowman shares a father, Donald Bowman, with James Donald Bowman, a.k.a. James David Hamel, a.k.a. J.D. Hamel, a.k.a. J.D. Vance.

Vance posted on X:

"Hey Cincinnati! My brother Cory Bowman is running for mayor and is on the ballot today for the primary. He’s a good guy with a heart for serving his community. Get out there and vote for him!"

But Vance's endorsement failed to bear fruit—or votes.

Incumbent Democratic Mayor Pureval garnered 82.53% of the vote, compared to Bowman's 12.91% and Frank's 4.6%. Vance can now see what a real landslide victory looks like, having no personal experience with one himself.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and Vance won just 48% of the vote versus 42% for former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

People were no more supportive of either Bowman brother on social media.


JD Vance holds NCAA trophy, it breaks. JD Vance visits the Pope, he dies JD Vance visits India, a war breaks out. JD Vance endorses his brother, brother gets creamed. I'm sensing a pattern.

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

Remember when JD Vance endorsed his brother for Cincinnati mayor? Voters overwhelmingly rejected him. 82.5% to 12.9%. That says everything

Not a good look, JD.

The two winners of the May 6 mayoral primary election will face off in the general election on November 4.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
