Ohio's Senate Race Has Become Ground Zero for the Data Center Backlash
John Husted spent years promoting data centers. Now that voters are furious about the bills, he says the industry earned the backlash — but not that it caused it.

32% approval, the lowest of his career. Underwater in 47 states and DC. Republican approval down 9 points in a week. A retribution campaign that can't win a case in court. Donald Trump's presidency is failing. tinyurl.com/3bpmzbtv

Trump’s Presidency is Failing
