TL;DR Summary

GOP House candidate JR Majewski drops out of the Ohio House race after facing backlash for disparaging Special Olympics athletes and making controversial comments. His remarks, including derogatory language toward individuals with special needs, led to swift condemnation from fellow Republicans and his subsequent decision to suspend his campaign. This comes after previous controversies, including lying about serving in Afghanistan and flirting with the QAnon conspiracy theory. His withdrawal is likely to be a relief for national GOP leadership, who have recruited state Rep. Derek Merrin to run for the seat.
