'Not a pretty game': Republican gripes that MAGA infighting left him 'bruised'

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said last week the state’s Republican Party ”made a bad decision” by endorsing Vivek Ramaswamy for governor last month.

“The party exists to win elections, and it’s not a pretty game,” Yost said Friday during a City Club of Cleveland forum. “I’m used to getting bruised by the political process. This was just a little bit bigger bruise that I’m accustomed to.”

The Ohio Republican Party endorsed businessman Vivek Ramaswamy for governor May 9 — a year before the primary.
