Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), who is slated to speak at the 2020 Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week, stated on Sunday evening that a former Republican lawmaker will endorse Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Monday.
Yawn.
Stay out of it Amash.
This kind of hing will only make a minor difference if it’s a “big” name.
“Look, you’re gonna have a prominent congressman that’s going to come out, and declare, let him do it. I think he’s gonna do it tomorrow,” Kasich replied.
Shortly after the remark, CNN reporter Jamie Gangel reported that the Ohio Republican had told her he was referring to a former, not sitting, member of Congress.
Rather meaningless, until it’s a sitting (and not retiring) Republican Congressperson.
I am almost excited
Yeah, this kills all the interest in it, unless Reagan is somehow speaking from the grave.
It’ll be Jeff Flake. And it will be insignificant in terms of moving the needle of the undecided or persuadable voter.
How about starting that ad blitz? All I see for television advertising is Trump campaign ads and Republican senate ads. They’ve got the floor to themselves with no pushback. It’s come down to the Never-Trump Lincoln Project to begin the messaging to define this race, but that’s not a great reflection on the Biden campaign or the Democratic senate election campaigns.
John Boehner: From hell’s heart, I stab at thee.
He’s already said it’s not him.
maybe he meant “soon to be former” prominent congressman
Boehner was my immediate thought. Ohio like Kasich, and absolutely hates Mark Meadows on a visceral level.
Former Republican is the subtexted embedded in the headline, so there we are.
I doubt that Republicans will listen to a former Republican. That is just the way it works.
This is what prompted me to say that:
“Trump is just a symptom,” Amash tweeted. “Biden won’t address the causes.”
We don’t have a Senate race here in Ohio this cycle, but the Cincinnati advertising market covers Northern Kentucky. Amy McGrath is on Moscow Mitch like white on rice. I haven’t done a formal count, but it seems like her ads are up as often as Moscow’s are. She’s not pulling her punches, either.
On the congressional side, Chabot’s challenger in OH-1 seems to be running a strong campaign. The woman running my 'critter (Wenstrup) will get my vote, but I’ve seen nothing from her campaign. I expect that the incumbent asshole will go back for two more years, and I hope and pray it’s as a minority member.
Bonehead makes sense. I hope he’s got a glass of pinot noir handy to cry into when mean girls in the GOP Trumpanzee Party go after him.
Boehner is another Ohio boy. Makes sense he might well be the one.
No need to get excited about this… they are still Republicans. Until they publicly announce they are disbanding the GOP and starting from scratch I could not care less
I thought he switched to weed.
I’m not sure he switched. Maybe included it in his diet.
