With Race Too Close To Call, OH Dem Slams Opponent For Flying Folks In From DC
Source: TPM
With the House special election for Ohios 12th District still too close to call, Democratic nominee Danny OConnor made the cable news rounds on Wednesday morning, vowing to campaign every single day until November and criticizing his opponent for flying people like President Trump in from D.C. to help with his campaign.
In an interview with CNN, OConnor said the President didnt know what he was talking about during his visit to Ohio to rally for Republican Troy Balderson, despite Trump winning the district by 11 points. Trump is also wildly popular among rural voters in Ohio a demographic OConnor has struggled to entice.
I dont think he knows what hes talking about, you can fly in, hang out here for a couple of hours, fly out, he said. You dont walk on our roads, you dont have kids that go to our schools, you dont deal with the public health crisis with addiction that we have here in our state every single day. I think its more important to have grass roots conversations and Troy Balderson can have all the people he wants fly in from D.C., I dont think it makes too much of a difference.
