In 2020, Joe Biden has caught up to President Donald Trump in Ohio without even setting foot in the state. On Thursday, Trump made his Ohio counterattack — briefly moving his presidential platform to the state itself

CLYDE, Ohio — In 2020, Joe Biden has caught up to President Donald Trump in Ohio without even setting foot in the state.

The sudden flurry of Ohio activity is part of a reinvigorated effort to shore up Trump’s standing in the state ahead of November. No Republican has ever captured the presidency without claiming Ohio, and in recent months, the dual crises of a global pandemic and nationwide unrest over racial injustice have suddenly put the state in play for Joe Biden, Trump’s 2020 rival.an $18.4 million fall TV ad buy in the state — its largest ad blitz outside of Florida.

“Biden’s policies are China first and America last,” Trump said, predicting the market would crash under a Biden presidency. Not only that, Trump insisted without explanation that Biden’s America would have “no religion, no Bible. He’s against God. He’s against guns.”Absent was much talk about the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to grip the nation. In a sign of just how extensively the disease has infiltrated the country, Ohio’s Republican Gov.

“They continue to visit here because they know they’re in trouble here,” said David Peppers, the chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party. “We’ve been saying that for a year and a half, but that’s now playing out in the polls.”

So he's given up on Michigan and has to play defense in Ohio and Texas? Not a good sign.

I live in Ohio in Ohio when to know exactly who Trump is a con artist a incompetent leader selfish egotistical there's no way Ohio will be voting for Trump Ohio will be voting for Joe Biden a real president someone who can lead us the right way

He has the time and energy to shore up voters. Time and energy to help slow virus? NOT SO MUCH.

Okay...whatever Politico

Look....

Wow, he really doesn't blend in that makeup well, does he 😬🎃

Or maybe he is just campaigning like any ordinary candidate would..... and where is Basement Joe, still hiding and eating hot pockets ..... and sniffing his hair collection!

How fitting that he played live and let die as an intro.

Come on, people of Ohio! Why would you support this dangerous man?

Ohio! The state of white Supremacy!

DeWine faked having covid so he wouldn’t appear in public with him. Too toxic

Let’s hope the people who meet with him keep mistakenly testing for coronavirus.

Hey, Ohio, don't you want to put an end to your state's direct connection ⬇️ to SEX ABUSE / SEXUAL ASSAULT? Don't you deserve better? POTUS Jim_Jordan ohiogop OHDems GOP DNC

Dude is so proud to be white, why is he trying to hide it behind a horrible orange mask?

OhioForBiden

Too. Late.

I heard a torrent of lies, hate, and anti-Catholic bigotry. Disappointed whirlpoolusa acted as a backdrop.

muddyinpb Unfortunately Ohioans are dumb enough to believe his BS.

You expect people to believe Sleepy Joe who gets 8 viewers on his stream is neck and neck with Trump in Ohio? Bullshit, Look at this

Trump struck out today with all his lies and BS.

Maybe staying away from the state is the best tactic now.

He insults us in Ohio. It would offensive how stupid he thinks we are.

Nothing in August matters. If I were a betting man, I'd say Trump has a higher chance of winning in 2020.

The press rallies are helping Biden more than any ad could have ever done. They’re basically pumping out material for ProjectLincoln... smooth.

Speaking as an Ohioan, he has lost many of his 2016 voters. My guess is that he is going to lose Ohio. Bigly.

Look at the makeup line. Someone teach the president how to blend.

…and Clinton had an unbreakable blue wall that crumbled like coffee cake. By all means keep doing what you’re doing.
