Given a good run by Sherrod Brown, Pat DeWine cannot stand toe-to-toe with Sherrod.

There are character issues with Pat DeWine that will become more obvious if he runs against a good Dem. Candidate.

The son does not have the character of the father.

On paper US Representative Anthony Gonzalez would be a perfect candidate but could mess up.

You gave P. DeWine as an example, based on his name, you tell us.
If not that, why list Ohio as a flip?

Biden/Harris-D are more likely to win NC than FL and OH. Brown will have an easier chance getting re-elected if Ryan-D becomes US Senator.

I listed OH,MT, and WV as being likely to flip because they are red states and a strong Republican nominee will benefit from the Republican Presidential nominee’s coattails.

Will such a gerrymandered district stand?
I'm not sure today that Biden and/or Harris will be on the national ticket in 2024.
Not sure who will replace either/or both.
I don't believe Trump will be 2024 R candidate, no guess who it will be.
If Trump is the R candidate, he is very beatable. He will not grow more appealing as the years pass, even if his legal & financial problems don't defeat him first.
