As a result of Portman's retirement, this primary was expected to be one of the most competitive in the nation. Due to his high approval ratings within the Republican Party, most of the candidates sought the endorsement of former president Donald Trump. Former state treasurer Josh Mandel, who had been the Republican nominee for Senate in 2012, led most polls until late January, when businessman Mike Gibbons surged after spending millions in TV ads.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cleveland.com/news/2022/03/bolstered-by-millions-in-self-funded-ads-mike-gibbons-is-settling-into-the-top-tier-of-ohios-republican-us-senate-primary.html|title=Bolstered by millions in self-funded ads, Mike Gibbons is settling into the top tier of Ohio's Republican U.S. Senate primary|date=March 8, 2022|website=cleveland}} At a forum in March 2022, Gibbons and Mandel got into a forceful argument over Mandel's private sector experience. The debate moderator intervened after it was feared that the two candidates would come to blows.{{cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/04/ohio-senate-primary-stupid-00030063|title=Farewell to the dumbest Senate primary ever|website=Politico|last1=Allison|first1=Natalie|date=May 4, 2022|access-date=May 5, 2022}} On April 9, Gibbons said that middle-class Americans don't pay enough in income taxes, which immediately led to his poll numbers plummeting. On April 15, Trump endorsed writer and commentator JD Vance, who had criticized him in the past.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/04/09/ohio-gop-senate-hopeful-mike-gibbons-middle-class-pay-taxes/9525029002/|title=Ohio GOP Senate hopeful Mike Gibbons: Middle class doesn't pay fair share|first=Julie Carr|last=Smyth|website=The Columbus Dispatch}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2022/04/15/1093148912/trump-endorses-j-d-vance-wading-into-ohios-contentious-republican-senate-primary|title=Trump endorses J.D.

Vance had been trailing in the polls, but as a result of Trump's support, he surged to become the race's frontrunner for the first time and led in most polls up to election day. Meanwhile, State Senator Matt Dolan, who disavowed Trump's claims of voter fraud in the 2020 United States presidential election, saw a late surge after buying ad time.{{Cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/29/trump-says-matt-dolan-is-not-fit-for-ohios-senate-seat-hes-gaining-ground-anyway-00028824|title=Republican who refuses to bend the knee to Trump surges in Ohio Senate race|first=Natalie|last=Allison|website=POLITICO|date=April 29, 2022 }} Vance won with 32% of the vote with Mandel in second and Dolan in a close third. The primary was considered by many as a test of Trump's influence over the Republican Party as he won Ohio by 8 points in 2020.{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/ohio-senate-primary-tests-trump-influence-with-republican-voters-11651577400|title=Trump-Backed J.D.

Ohio had trended Republican in recent years, voting for Donald Trump by eight points in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. As such, most analysts expected that this seat would easily remain in Republican hands. However, aggregate polling on the run-up to the election indicated a competitive race, and most outlets considered it to be "lean Republican". In the end, JD Vance held the open seat for the Republicans.
