Ohio I Voted Stickers

Voters decide midterm elections tomorrow.  

 

Democrats and Republicans are fighting for control of both congress and statehouses across the country not to mention key executive elective offices that play a role in how legislative and congressional districts are drawn.

 

In 2016, Ohio went for Donald Trump by a comfortable eight-plus percentage points. But two years later, polls suggest that most statewide races in Ohio are too close to call.

 

In fact, midterm elections are seen as a referendum on the person who sits in the oval office. We’ll talk about what matters with seasoned national journalists today.

Guests:

  • Jack Torry, DC bureau chief, the Columbus Dispatch
  • Ron Elving, Senior Editor and Correspondent on the Washington Desk for NPR News
  • Herb Asher, political science professor, The Ohio State University
