Summary
Trump makes the case for Jon Husted in Ohio, praising the Republican senator's greatest asset: his athletic behind. Jon and Dan react to Trump's Ohio rally and his other messages to voters on the campaign trail, Politico reporting that Trump is considering replacing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with an MLB executive, and new press secretary Kati…
Republicans abandon competitive races, Trump corruption hits record disapproval, Guilfoyle exits Greece, Katie Zachariah's disastrous press debut, Ilhan Omar's citizenship under attack, and Sherrod Brown on Ohio's Senate race.
