Ohio and Indiana primary elections, May 5
Indiana and Ohio held primary elections on May 5, with Indiana polls opening at 6 a.m. In Indiana, seven GOP primary fights are being cast as direct tests of President Trump’s influence as he targets incumbents WHO blocked his redistricting push. In Ohio, contested congressional and statewide primaries create openings for Democrats amid growing GOP dissatisfaction with Trump’s agenda and will shape competitive districts for the November general election.
I'm curious about what Tuesday's election in Ohio will look like. 2 things: 1. Will Democrats outvote Republicans? 2. Will the Ohio primary have a large protest vote against Vivek Ramaswamy the presumptive nominee?
@janettes-999.bsky.social3Both very good questions! I hope Democrats overperform again. Go, Ohio Democrats!
Not4Plato2I hope they nominate Vivek so the D candi can wreck him and get the governorship.
Jen-of-Λrc2Democrats need to start having discussions w/ family & friends—discussing the importance of voting, helping them register to vote & sending them reminders to vote, &/or carpooling to polling locations. The turnout should be MUCH higher in the U.S. Why aren’t Americans taking elections seriously?
