FormerPresident Trump singled out Sen. Rand Paul on Thursday, asking if the Kentucky Republican “will apologize” for breaking with him in an Ohio GOP House primary. 

Trump’s candidate of choice, coal industry lobbyist Mike Carey, won that primary on Tuesday, all but assuring that he’ll go on to succeed former Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), who stepped down earlier this year to lead the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. 

Paul, meanwhile, had thrown his support behind former Ohio state Rep. Ron Hood in the Ohio primary, putting himself at odds with Trump. A political action committee aligned with Paul spent heavily in support of Hood — an investment that didn’t go unnoticed by Trump.

Hood placed third in the Tuesday primary, falling more than 20 points short of Carey.
