It's the one you've been waiting for! The Map Room is off to Ohio - long-reigning king of the bellwethers, which broke red in a big way in 2016. Despite its large contingent of Obama-Trump voters, however, polls suggest Ohio is squarely back in play in 2020. 

Eric, Jared and Nick explain all you need to know about Ohio politics: the divide between the urban and rural areas, the large number of metropolitan areas (ranging from Cleveland to Cincinnati to Columbus), the strong white working-class vote, and the surprising Republican edge at the state level. They also discuss most of the major races this century and the presidential trends going back decades.

Eric Cunningham and Jared Stone continue their tour of crucial swing states in Wisconsin (Nick Morris will be back next week). Long part of the Democratic “blue wall”, Wisconsin has experienced a Republican trend recently culminating in Trump’s 2016 win.
