COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Democratic leaders are in support of Vice President Kamala Harris replacing President Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, but some Republicans argue that the Dems are being"unfair."
Her view is joined by both House Minority Leader Allison Russo and Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio . "They're the ones who are disenfranchising millions and millions of voters by discounting their vote and taking him down," Bird said."This is a coup from the left to take down their candidate.""The Left constantly cries about, 'Oh, democracy is under attack' and 'President Trump is going to attack democracy,' he said."But they've not carried out the will of the people who voted for ... It's undemocratic.
"This entire system of ours is about, you got to persuade voters, you got to win their votes," Vance said."You don't decide who the president is in smoke-filled rooms with billionaires and senior elected officials."Democratic delegate coordinator state Sen. Bill DeMora argued that the Republicans don't know the DNC rules, which differ from RNC.
We went out to talk to voters in Cleveland and Columbus, Democratic strongholds. Each voter told us they were either supportive of Harris or they"didn't care," as long as the individual could"beat Trump.""I'm not sure if our next choices are any good, but gotta go with it, right?" Kuehls said.Some Statehouse Democrats argue that the GOP is just mad because Harris is a bigger threat to Trump than Biden was. Bird denied this.
