    SCOOP: After national Democrats offered to help out with Ohio's expensive redistricting fight, the GOP compromised. But there was never any money, just a plot that would only be revealed after Dems won a majority of races. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal

    I just asked Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine about possible Republican efforts to take away or lessen the powers of the governor prior to Gov-elect Dr. Amy Acton taking office in January. I asked if he would veto. “No governor would sign.” @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal

    I asked if he wants Jon Husted to run for governor. He didn’t want to answer but praised him extensively. @danielgeldredge followed up, asking his thoughts on Husted’s butt. He laughed. Said he doesn’t look there, but did say he has lots of arm “muscles.” 🤨

    @danielgeldredge Soon-to-be Senate President Bill Reineke (R-Tiffin) said he isn’t sure if the lawmakers will attempt to lessen governor’s powers. Senator Bill DeMora (D-Columbus) said it better not happen, and says Acton should threaten to veto all bills from GOP if they do this.

    @WEWS @scrippsnews Service is kinda nonexistent here. Trying to update when I can. But have been going live on TV! Democrats are remaining positive even as the margins begin to close in.
