Steve why is it so competitive before . Major youre seeing a shift in the suburbs of ohio that just a few decades ago or years ago, these suburbs outside cincinnati and columbus and cleveland, they were the base of the republican party. Thats how john kasich would have been elected, or even george bush. Those suburbs are largely blue. They are saying this is not the party we were a part of and they have left and they are voting blue for statehouse seats, sheriff brown, democratic mayors and councilmembers, and theyre not going to vote for donald trump this november. You take away the old base of the republican party, and it is tossup or either democrat, which it is, that makes ohio a much tougher state for republicans. That means they have to run up in the rural parts of the state, but these suburbs are a large voting bloc in the state of ohio, some republicans have really lost their old base. The second thing that has happened is the ohio economy, before covid, was already struggling.
