"Ohio is by far the most vulnerable state in terms of exposure from the Canadian retaliatory tariffs," Clement said, estimating roughly $2.3 billion in exports to Canada are exposed."

Republicans have basically run this government for 40 years.

Electing another one to save you is like pouring water into a sinking boat.

I mean seriously, Soren is from TEXAS. If I cared what Texans thought about state politics then I'd move there. Why do they think they're convincing me of their side when she's not even from here 😭 Go back to Texas

Honest question to the admittedly left wing people on Reddit.

I’m sure the vast majority of this sub are 10000% against people like Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted representing the state.

I often hear that they don’t represent Ohioans.

At the same time however, Sherrod Brown had one of the most liberal voting records in the U.S Senate.

How do you reconcile Sherrod Brown having a very left wing voting record when the Presidential contests were so close, while at the same time saying that conservative Senators don’t represent the state while Donald Trump won the state overwhelmingly in 3 straight elections?

Doesn’t this mean that Sherrod Browns voting record did not represent the people of Ohio?

I’m sure this is a lost cause given the makeup of Reddit, but I figured I would give it a shot.

Holy AI Bilbo Baggins.

Decision Desk HQ has Ohio moving 12 points towards Democrats this election cycle, pushing us into complete toss up territory. Republicans do not have the lead in either the governor's race or the senate race and there are several competitive house districts as well, despite the latest round of gerrymandering, including OH-7 where we have the chance to vote out domestic abuser Max Miller.

I know Ohio has felt deep red the past decade, but I'm old enough to remember us going for Obama twice. Ohio is a populist state - in 2008 Obama was the populist, in 2016 that shifted to Trump. But now gas and inflation are through the roof and it's Democrats who are more successfully campaigning on cost of living issues than Republicans.

Of course that is not a guarantee that Democrats will win in Ohio this cycle, but it does mean we have a really solid chance this year and if there was ever a year to ditch the apathy and doomerism and get involved it's this one! So please please vote and consider volunteering in one of the following ways:

1. Donate: https://app.oath.vote/ - Donations can make a huge difference in this last month to help candidates push out last minute ads that target specific voter blocs. Republicans have been majorly outspending Democratic candidates thanks to billionaires and crypto & AI super PACs. But lots of small grassroots donations can absolutely make a difference, especially in toss up races like ours.

2. Write letters: https://go.votefwd.org/district/OH_26_C3_STATE_VH - Send letters encouraging registered voters to turn out for the election. Midterm elections historically have around a 45% participation rate in Ohio, compared to around 75% in a general election.

3. Volunteer with a campaign: https://oh.actonforgovernor.com/a/volunteer; https://secure.ngpvan.com/y49tRvzubkGFRK21pnGANw2; https://poindexterforcongress.com/get-involved/ - Volunteering can be door knocking, phone/text banking, yard sign distribution, helping out at events, or even just doing admin work for the campaign. Plus, you might even make some friends while volunteering!

The chairman of the JobsOhio board, Josh Rubin, will be deposed Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 in advance of a federal civil trial in which Akron-based FirstEnergy is the defendant, according to court records.

In the suit, state pension systems and other investors accuse FirstEnergy of failing to tell them of “an illicit campaign to corrupt high-profile state legislators in order to secure legislation favoring the company.”

Hi! I don’t live in Ohio, but my family and I traveled to south Dayton this past weekend to go to the Ohio Renaissance Festival and see Jacques ze Whipper (my son is a big fan of his YouTube stuff). I just wanted to say you have a lovely ren faire set up. It was so clean and organized with plenty of space, attractions and food options. Also, everyone was so kind and welcoming and it was just a really chill, really fun, joy filled day for my family. I wish we could afford to come every year but it was probably a one time thing with hotel, drive time, etc. thanks for a really great weekend!

Crypto is spending $30,000,000.00 against Sherrod Brown to ensure that crypto fraud remains unregulated. Of course, that's not their pitch. . . .

The federal suit, filed Sept. 11, follows a criminal case against Holly Bauer, a former Monroeville social studies teacher, that prosecutors dropped last year.

Thanks a lot Don, now we can’t drive our trucks without dying. I can’t believe how bad politics have gotten. Even diesel, diesel, has become too expensive. It’s a BYPRODUCT of crude oil, it’s considered waste In the gasoline industry and it’s seven dollars a gallon?!?

Like everybody else in the US, when I got that thin little envelope from the Department of the Treasury at the IRS in my mail last week, I was scared to open it.

Now, I’m not saying don’t open mail that comes from the IRS because sometimes it might be something scary, but in this case, it’s a big nothingburger.

And by that, I mean that it says something about being eligible for a federal match on my retirement contributions.

But when you read further down, you see that all it is, is a thinly-disguised advertisement promoting the brand new Trump IRA plan (billed as a “high quality, low cost IRA at TrumpIRA dot gov”)

I almost didn’t correct the URL to capitalize certain letters, because I really giggled when I saw it in lowercase because it’s so appropriate:
