Now, let’s dissect what went down. The email blunder was spotted by the eagle-eyed folks over at the Daily Caller News Foundation at 3:18 p.m. EST. Talk about jumping the gun! Myers, who is vying for the GOP nomination in Ohio’s second congressional district, swiftly took to social media to do some damage control. Can you say “awkward”?
In a classic case of foot-in-mouth syndrome, Myers tried to smooth things over by explaining that his team had prepped both victory and concession emails just in case. Sounds like someone was so sure they were going to lose that they accidentally hit the wrong button! Whoopsies.
Meanwhile, in other election news, the battle for the Republican nomination to take on Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown is heating up. Businessman Bernie Moreno, endorsed by the one and only President Trump, is facing off against Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Republican state Sen. Matt Dolan.

As Myers scrambles to save face and catch his breath, one thing is clear: this election night is turning out to be more dramatic than the latest reality TV show. Stay tuned, folks. The political rollercoaster is just getting started!
