And Ohio was never totally MAGA...we have a weak Democratic party- some have been working with the GOP... but there is almost as many Democrats if not more than the GOP asshats. Now I think the GOP is losing power in Ohio.

The maps here in NC may not rescue us. Hell we could bring back Meadows and Cawthorn here to stand with V Foxx.

I intend to do this in Ohio...is we elect Sherrod...one seat closer to wiping out Trump's ability to pick justices for SCOTUS.

When Dr. Acton was part of his administration and they worked so well together during the pandemic. *sigh* I guess it’s always Party over Country with those goobers.

Dr. Acton grew up in my area (Youngstown). She is a local product - graduate of my boys’ high school. She is whip smart, compassionate, and will make a big difference in Ohio.
