Ohio GOP candidates shun J. D. Vance
He’s an Ohio senator, and their party’s vice presidential nominee, but Ohio GOP candidates want nothing to do with him. Vance is “conspicuously absent” from billboards that “prominently feature” Trump, Bernie Moreno, and Derek Merrin, according to Politico (read s[...]
