Ohio Has Issues
What the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris means to Ohio voters
Following the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, we look at what the contest means to Ohio voters.
On the September 11, 2024 edition of Ohio Has Issues with Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr., we fact check claims from Trump and Harris, including the outlandish false statements from Trump and his running mate Senator JD Vance about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
