This story from the Akron Beacon Journal…
Former President Barack Obama will visit Ohio this month to support gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and former Senator Sherrod Brown at a Cleveland rally on October 24. This will be Obama’s first visit to the Buckeye State since 2018 when he campaigned for Rich Cordray for Ohio Governor.
Obama is the first high-profile surrogate to show up for the Ohio Democrats. The former president won Ohio both times he appeared on the ballot, but the state has shifted toward Republicans since Trump arrived on the political scene.
