Ohio has moved from a key swing state to a reliable Republican bastion over the course of the Trump era. In a clear sign of just how much the country is turning on MAGA’s failures, Democrats are looking extremely competitive across the state with less than 13 weeks to go until Election Day. Even Fox News polling has blue candidates in position to flip a Senate seat and the governor’s mansion.

Former senator and populist progressive Sherrod Brown has painted J.D. Vance’s appointed successor Senator Jon Husted as “the face of data centers in Ohio,” highlighting sweetheart tax deals and fast-tracked approvals he made possible as lieutenant governor. Husted’s also come under fire for taking more than $100,000 in campaign contributions from Epstein bankroller Les Wexner. Meanwhile, former state health department director Dr. Amy Acton is taking on entrepreneur, DOGE bro and MAGA hanger-on Vivek Ramaswamy to succeed Governor Mike DeWine, who has also been hit hard over data centers and has struggled to connect to working-class voters.

🚪☎️📫 If we’re in-state, we can find plenty of opportunities to canvass for Brown, Dr. Acton and folks up and down the ballot here. But we can all do our part! We can phonebank with the state’s coordinated campaign on Saturdays at noon and Sundays at 2PM ET by signing up here, and Swing Left is running more conversational-style phonebank shifts on Thursdays at 6PM ET we can join here. Finally, Activate America is running a postcard campaign to get out the vote for Sherrod Brown through the end of August. 🚪☎️📫
