In this episode, Drs. Melissa Miller and Russell Mills, political scientists at Bowling Green State University, talk about Ohio’s pivotal role in the 2016 election, how Ohio’s economic performance will influence the vote, Trump’s attempts to find Reagan Democrats in the Buckeye State, Clinton’s advantage in on-the-ground organizing, and the potential for third-party candidates to influence the outcome in Ohio. This is the first episode in a series of weekly updates on the presidential campaign in America’s most important swing state.
