Midwest VP Candidate Showdown

Description
WOSU’s Mike Thompson and the Columbus on the Record panel look at the importance of Midwest VP candidates in the 2024 campaign as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz becomes Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate on the Democratic ticket. Earlier this summer Ohio U.S. Senator JD Vance was picked by former President Donald Trump to be on the Republican ticket.

In Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, Bernie Moreno and incumbent Sherrod Brown step up attacks. The group behind Ohio’s redistricting amendment has heavy advance spending ahead of a new state law that bans foreign contributions to issue campaigns. And legal marijuana sales behind in Ohio this week to modest lines and high prices.
