Govster and First Lady share a cream puff per #tradition

OPENING DAY: The Ohio State Fair opens today! I’m here to talk to politicians and make my @WEWS, @WCPO colleagues jealous with fair food 🤓

NEW: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine isn't anticipating a surge of immigration enforcement as TPS for Haitian immigrants expires. Still, the Akron-Canton Airport continues to host deportation flights for ICE-affiliated charters. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

@MathewsforOhio Literally that portion of SB98 was one of the MOST HELPFUL bills passed in the past decade #NoMoreIssue1

Happy to vote FOR Issue 3, not only because it's good policy, but also because it's not yet another Issue 1!

NEW: Issue 3 asks Ohioans if the current voter photo ID law should be enshrined in the state constitution. While Republicans say this is good policy, Dems & Libertarians argue the proposal is just meant to rally the GOP base. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

ELECTION SZN: We are officially 100 days out from the November election! The @WEWS political team has you covered and will provide updates on the races. Reply here/DM or email me questions you have at morgan.trau@wews.com. @KosichJohn

NEW: The frontrunners for Ohio governor both want to regulate data centers but have different plans for how to address growing concerns. Watch on both @WEWS and @WCPO at 5:30. @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

Genuinely so confused how my article struck a nerve. No one is cheering for Democrats, nor Republicans. It is a story about strategy, one where a Republican said there’s no chance they gain seats. Everyone needs to calm down.

Lol. We have had this conversation over DMs. Stop doing this, it’s weird. I work for the EW Scripps Company, based out of the very foreign(?) Cincinnati.

@AdamCBird What does that have anything to do with Democrats trying to flip seats?

This is not a balanced article. You forgot to mention that Republicans are more trusted on: 1. Election integrity 2. Job creation 3. Immigration 4. Crime/safety And you didn’t mention that while under Republican leadership, Ohio was recently named by CNBC as the #1 state in the nation to do business.

NEW: Ohio Democrats are hoping to flip at least six seats to break the Republican supermajority, changing the balance of power within the Statehouse. They are looking at 10 GOP-held seats, but targeting eight. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

NEW: The candidates for Ohio governor have unveiled more in-depth policies to reduce the growing property tax crisis. A nonpartisan tax expert isn't too impressed. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

NEW: Ohio Republican candidate for governor Vivek Ramaswamy is changing his tune on shutting down "subpar" universities after facing bipartisan backlash. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

FROM FRIDAY: Vivek Ramaswamy & a supportive PAC have spent nearly $9 million on ads during a six-week period for the Ohio gubernatorial race. His opponent, Democrat Dr. Amy Acton, has spent just $100,000. Watch⬇️ @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

NEW: Despite saying they have plans, it is unclear how the candidates for Ohio governor will pay for their property tax cuts. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

Thank you so much!

NEW: As Republican Ohio Sen. Nathan Manning becomes a judge, he leaves behind a competitive House race. Democrats are confident his departure allows for a smoother way to eliminate the Republican supermajority. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

NEW: Congressman Max Miller is now in two different legal battles with his ex-wife & ex-girlfriend related to allegations of domestic violence. Miller declined to comment Friday, but has previously denied all claims of abuse. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

I have been putting my face on tv more😌 Thanks for watching!
