How'd he get through their primary in that Red state?

He was the heir apparent of Kasich.

He did get a trumpy challenger in 22, but in some ways Ohio hasn't fully gone off the deep end yet.

I won't deny it isn't getting there, but we aren't flying migrants out of state, declaring war on The Mouse, or electing football coaches. We also aren't expelling house members, re-electing Lindsey Graham, or working overtime to chase doctors out of the state.

I truly disliked him as Lt. Governor, but saw a mellowing in him when he became a Senator. That may have been after his daughter died. Like you said, he has come under the thumb of our legislature. I have to keep reminding myself that he has a humanitarian side. He and his wife have done a lot of work in Haiti for children.
