Republicans were very concerned about Ohio’s appearance early in the evening as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had a 10 percentage point lead. However, this was largely due to the fact that ballots cast before Election Day were counted first, and these were heavily skewed toward Democrats. In-person votes were later tallied, and Trump quickly closed the gap.
You see how powerful the ability to vote early is for the last 10-15% of reporting constituencies. Everyone was panicking about Ohio and now Trump is crushing it.

He is currently the projected winner of the Buckeye State – a good sign since Ohio is considered a belligerent state, having voted for the winning presidential candidate in every election since 1944 except for the 1960 matchup of Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. .

It’s also worth noting that Trump defeated Biden in Mahoning County, where Youngstown is located.
Trump wins Mahoning County, Ohio – a state no Republican has won since 1972
The rust belt is making massive moves towards @realDonaldTrump! Joe Biden is BAD for Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania

You don’t win Ohio and Florida and lose the presidency. It’s not a matter of mathematics; it’s a cultural issue. I’ve been writing about this for years

Also: does anyone else @natesilver538 You think Ohio doesn’t matter to Pennsylvania and Michigan?
