CLEVELAND — When Jim Renacci launched his first bid for governor four years ago, it was a four-way race but he viewed then frontrunner Mike DeWine as the main target. Renacci bowed out of that race to run for the U.S. Senate but now four years later is back in an attempt to finish what he started.

"I jumped in that race because I didn't think Mike DeWine was the person who could change our state and three and half years later he's proven that," Renacci told News 5 after launching his challenge of DeWine for the 2022 nomination.

Renacci made it clear at the center of the campaign will be DeWine's handling of the pandemic and the shutdown of the state.

"Governor DeWine ran this state like Governor Cuomo ran New York and New York, Ohio and others are struggling to come back out," he said.

Snippet ~ ""I'm hoping that the president supports me but I don't think I need his support, I'd love to have it but I'm not going to rely on it."

JC..... He's worse than DeWine and I despise DeWine, Renacci is a friend of the asshole reality tv loser.

1. Well, you can vote

For John Cranley, Mayor of Cincinnati, or Nan Whaley, who completely rebuilt Dayton. Good friend of Sherrod Brown.

Also vote for Tim Ryan to replace Portman.

2. A reality denier - note his use of "the president". By which he means the former guy.

There is one president. There are several former presidents, who have the courtesy title "President". But none of Carter, Clinton, Bush, Obama or Trump are "the president".

And he wants to use the aspect of DeWine that he actually did OK in - keeping people in his state alive in a pandemic. At 1,719 deaths per million, Ohio is below the national average of 1,858, and below neighbours like Indiana or Pennsylvania.

4. I'm surprised....

You're the only person that picked up on how he used the phrase "the president", thus my putting it in bold.

The sad thing is, Ohio has so many crazy Q's, they'd probably vote for him.

3. Renacci Thinks MORE People Should Have Died
