Ohio - Vote to Survive

Presidential Race

This is a Purple “battleground” state, one of six critical states that voted for Obama in 2012, but then voted for Trump in 2016. It is absolutely critical to our survival that we win back this state for Biden in 2020.

Trump won this state in 2016 with 8.1% more votes than Hillary Clinton, or roughly 450,000 votes out of more than 5 million votes cast in Pennsylvania. More than 3 million people in Ohio, including 600,000 young people, aged 18-24, did not vote in that election, and a similar number have turned 18 since 2016 and are thus eligible to vote.
