What are Republican and Democratic leaders learning from the message Ohio voters delivered on election night.
For a state that once was blue, then purple, then red under Trump, last night the color wheel spun blue again.
It was a huge night for Democrats, who won the governor's race with Dr. Amy Acton and returned Sherrod Brown to the U.S. Senate, and flipped key Ohio congressional seats blue.
Turnout was heavy across the U.S. and Ohio was no exception.
Voters at the polls here expressed a range of emotions about the state of our democracy, the Trump administration, the high cost of their everyday lives and partisan politics.
We're talking this hour with a longtime political scientist and Democratic and Republican strategists about what it all means.
Guests:
- Paul Beck, political science professor emeritus, Ohio State University
- Morgan Harper, Democratic strategist and former congressional and Senate candidate
- Gene Krebs, former Republican lawmaker in Ohio/co-chair, Better Choices for Ohio
