The fight over reproductive rights in the Buckeye State begins with an August special election on an obscure ballot measure.

GOP leaders brazenly skirted a state Supreme Court ruling with a law shielding the money from public scrutiny. Many other states are doing likewise. Are we repeating the tobacco settlement debacle?

Trump once used the promise of an electric future to further his own political gains—while leaving Ohio workers in the lurch.

Two Ohio politicians will be sentenced to potentially years in prison this week for their role in a scandal to prop up failing forms of energy. Somehow, Ohioans are still paying those bills.

And politicians, despite their posturing, don’t care about any of them.

Conspiracy theorists are jumping on news of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. But the truth is much more simple.

Did a shortage of rail workers cause the Ohio toxic-freight derailment? I’m guessing yes.

The slippage is among nonwhite voters. But don’t despair: Union households, after stumbling in 2016, got back their Democratic mojo.

A slew of ballot initiatives are allowing millions of Americans the chance to overhaul how their elections are run.

Some Democrats are hitting their GOP opponents with tough January 6 ads. Will they work? Control of the Senate could depend on it.

The Buckeye State has grown redder and redder. The Democratic congressman could reverse that—and start to revive the Democrats’ working-class identity.

J.D. Vance earned Trump’s endorsement by renouncing his anti-Trump past. The Senate candidate’s comeback victory in Ohio’s Republican primary will only intensify the stampede to kiss the king’s ring.

J.D. Vance is about as authentically Ohioan as a bar of Ghirardelli chocolate. Alas, only one endorsement mattered.

Ohio’s primaries are next Tuesday. The putative Democratic Senate candidate says he can win because the Republicans are extremists and radicals.

In an interview with The New Republic, the Ohio Democrat was keen to remind: “Fifty Republicans voted against the child tax credit twice.”

Trump and allies like J.D. Vance and Tucker Carlson may have overestimated the appeal of the former president’s isolationism.

A former state party chairman discusses his new book, “Laboratories of Autocracy”—and whether Democrats can ever win in Ohio again.

TNR editor Michael Tomasky talks with the Ohio Democratic senator about the infrastructure bills, Joe Manchin, inflation, and whether Ohio will ever be a blue state again.

The “Hillbilly Elegy” author spent the first week of his campaign apologizing for his past criticism of Trump. He’s going to have to grovel even more if he hopes to defeat the Forever Trumpers he’s up against.

I am a fan of “Hillbilly Elegy”—even the movie!—but I can no longer admire the plutocratic fraud that its author has become.
