2. "J.D. Vance tells associates he plans to run for Senate in Ohio"

Axios

J.D. Vance, venture capitalist and author of "Hillbilly Elegy," has told friends and colleagues that he plans to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Axios has learned from multiple sources.

Why it matters: He'll need to reconcile his growing antagonism to Big Tech with a career that's been facilitated by it.

State of play: Vance, who's been both celebrated and criticized for his "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ethos, would be entering a crowded GOP primary field.

His goal, according to one source, is to present himself as a bridge between Trump and establishment Republicans, particularly because it may be tough to out-Trump former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel.

4. Many people in Southwestern Ohio

Are furious because they say the movie projected all of us as dumb Hillbillies who voted for Trump.

And an awful lot of them in Hamilton and Cincinnati are die hard Democrats.
