OHIO DEMS IN THE HEADLINES
Biden Back in the Buckeye State
This week Biden traveled to Toledo, where he delivered remarks outside United Auto Workers Local 14.
In his remarks, Biden made clear that he will fight for workers in Toledo and across Ohio and laid out how the Biden-Harris ticket will stand with workers, stop the pandemic and build back better.
Today marks only 18 days left until Election Day, and recent polls continue to show VP Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a dead heat in Ohio — with the most recent Quinnipiac poll showing Biden up by one.
Volunteers from across the state are working hard to contact voters and drop off lit to ensure Biden keeps his lead and Ohio flips blue — but we can’t win this thing unless everyone is giving their all. Sign up for a shift to phone bank, text bank or drop lit here.
TRUMP WATCH
Pence Parachutes Into Ohio For Pep Rally
Ahead of Mike Pence’s arrival in Columbus this week, Democrats and health care workers mourned the loss of more than 5,000 Ohioans to COVID-19 and called out Donald Trump’s failed, incompetent response to the pandemic.
Congresswoman Joyce Beatty said, “It’s a sad day, but they’re desperate. I’m very fearful that we will see what we’ve seen at other rallies: a lot of photo ops, very few masks if any.”
Dr. Anita Somani slammed the Trump administration’s continued attacks on the Affordable Care Act — even in a pandemic — saying, “If we overturn the ACA here in Ohio, health coverage would be impacted for 740,000 folks, with as many as 5 million Ohioans who have pre-existing conditions being affected.”
In a statement, Chairman David Pepper said, “Pence is parachuting into Columbus for a photo op. We don’t need more super-spreader pep rallies from this failed administration.”
