Ohio's working-class voters reconsider support for Trump and Republicans

Original: Ohio’s working-class voters rethink support for Trump and Republicans A decade after Republican Donald Trump peeled away

Roughly a decade after Donald Trump drew Ohio's working-class and union voters away from the Democratic Party, Democrats and labor leaders in the state see a chance to win some of them back. The shift is being attributed to economic frustrations and changing attitudes among voters who once formed the backbone of Democratic support in Ohio, a state that became a Republican stronghold after 2016.

Why now: Renewed Democratic and labor organizing efforts in Ohio are prompting discussion about whether working-class voters are drifting away from Trump and Republicans.
