The Trump Campaign recently announced the opening of several campaign offices in Ohio. The move was not unexpected; presidential candidates generally begin ramping what's called "ground game" shortly after the primary elections.

As part of our PoliticsOhio series, WYSO's April Laissle talked with Wright State political science professor Dr. Lee Hannah about what this means for Trump's campaign in Ohio, and nationally.

PoliticsOhio is a wrap-up of the week's important political news in the state. Each Friday during All Things Considered, the WYSO news department talks with political reporters and experts from across Ohio about local and statewide news.
