Ohio becomes midterm battleground after years of GOP wins

Season 2026 Episode 213 | 5m 19s

In recent presidential elections, Ohio has become a reliably Republican state. But in this year's midterms, it's once again a battleground. The races for governor and U.S. Senate are both seen as toss-ups by The Cook Political Report, and there are a handful of competitive House districts. Liz Landers reports on how national issues are affecting Ohio voters as they prepare to head to the polls.
