No doubt this is good news for Turner, but I am reminded what happened before the South Carolina primary. Everyone had written Biden off, and then the South Carolina primary happened, and candidates dropped out, and unified behind one candidate, which made the very real chance for a contested primary zero.
This isnt a national election, but one district in Ohio, so things are different, but it follows a pattern what happens when you have too many candidates in a race.
Trump got in the republican primary in 2016, because there were too many candidates in their primary, and they effectively eliminated each other, and trump had the larger base
Unless some of the single digit candidates drop out, this is Turners race to lose
