Another moderate Republican senator is not running for re-election in 2022.
this time it is Rob Portman. He will possibly become more bipartisan over next 2 years and might vote to convict trump.
Ohio has become a fairly reliable red state but the likelihood is for a more strident trumper type to run in his place and probably win.
it is possible that Portman could run for president in 2024.
dems need a superstar talent to run there to pick up a seat.
The expected front runner is maniac Jim Jordan.
he is also the disgraced ex wrestling coach whisperer.
he is sooo extreme that if he wins the primary the Dems could have a chance in a state of John Kasich and Sherrod Brown.
also Ohio could be a little bluer by 2022 with new voters turning 18 and favoring blue and more manufacturing jobs and just a bit bluer country by then.
you can believe that The Lincoln Project would wage a nasty harsh battle against Jordan and spend the money for an onslaught of commercials to boil Jordan.
