7. DeWine is a true blue republican, however....

He made it clear he's no fan of Trump and his extreme agenda. He's used his veto stamp a number of times when Ohio legislators attempt to appease the king and has been overridden by the MAGAs a few times. He was among the first red state governors to apply Biden's Medicare Extension during the pandemic when others were leaving their citizens hanging without health care..

If it sounds like I'm going to bat for him, in a way I am, but only to say he's not as bad as we.ve seen in the past and he's probably better than what we'll see in the future. Having said that, he's a devout old school republican and shares the party's values and goals. I differ with him there.

If it wasn't for his appointment to VP, Vance would be running for governor next year.
