“pretty sure it was crickets in the room”

You know the phrase: a picture is worth a thousand words?

Donald Trump is back in Ohio tomorrow, we’re still not over this photo from a story in Cleveland.com about his last visit, just last week.

Apparently, Husted asked this woman if they could take the photo without her sign.

Why so shy, Jon?

Well, he knows this is a losing issue for him. Hosts of the Today in Ohio podcast put it this way:

Even national Republicans have warned that the data center issue could really cost Husted this election. And that’s what’s fascinating is that Trump isn’t exactly helping Husted distance himself from that issue. At Saturday’s rally [in Dayton], Trump enthusiastically embraced data centers. He talked about how much money they bring in. And I’m pretty sure it was crickets in the room because everyone there hates data centers.

If you’re like: Team Sherrod, make it make sense.

#1: You’re not alone. Jon Husted is the face of data centers in Ohio. He’s for sale and the data center billionaires know it. He’ll put corporations before Ohioans every time, no matter what it costs working families.

#2. As Robert Reich said in a recent Substack about our race: Follow the money. Husted has taken $630,000 from data center interest groups – and that’s only if you don’t count the millions more he’s getting from big tech and crypto that rely on these monstrosities to get richer, while we pay the price.

Republicans are spending $4 million a day here in Ohio because all eyes are on this race for good reasons. Up for grabs:

• Control of the U.S. Senate

• Putting an end to the war in Iran

• Likely filling a vacancy on the Supreme Court

• Fighting back against a rigged system

Here’s our to do list:

1. Raise another 2.5 million before the Oct. 14 FEC deadline. We raised $1M on ActBlue at the end of September. We have to raise more than twice that much to stay up on the air every day until Nov. 3.

2. Go hard on our voter outreach. All 88 counties. Every day.

3. Forward these notes from Sherrod and talk to our friends and neighbors about why this election is important, and why Sherrod is the candidate for the people.

4. Go vote.

Easy!

Thanks for all you’re doing for Sherrod and this campaign and Ohio.

More soon!

A message from Team Sherrod 📣

Election analysts say we have a real shot of winning in Ohio this November, but flipping a Senate seat doesn’t come easy. It takes organizers on the ground in every one of the 88 counties in the state, ads that cut through the noise, and a team that can go head-to-head with an avalanche of dark money.

That’s the work made possible with you on board – and even a $5 donation from you today will put us one step closer to flipping this seat.

Sherrod’s opponent is a Washington insider backed by the Republican establishment with virtually unlimited resources at his disposal. We don’t have our opponent’s billionaire backers, but we do have a strong grassroots foundation of thousands of folks who believe that Ohio – and our country – deserves better.

Every dollar you chip in goes towards building the kind of campaign we’ll need to defy the odds and flip this seat. Donate today and be part of our path to victory. Everything counts in a race this close.
