Former President Donald Trump announced Monday who he doesn't want to see win the Republican primary in Ohio to fill retiring Sen. Rob Portman's Senate seat. 

Trump took aim at Ohio state Sen. Matt Dolan, who formally jumped into the race earlier in the day, because Dolan's family, the owner of the Cleveland Indians, announced the name would change to Guardians after this baseball season concludes. 

'Anybody that changes the name of the once storied Cleveland Indians to the Cleveland Guardians should not be running for the United States Senate representing the Great People of Ohio,' Trump said in a statement.
