President Trump on Monday swiped at Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) after DeWine recognized Joe Biden as president-elect and said it was time for a transition to the next administration to begin.
“Who will be running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio? Will be hotly contested!” Trump tweeted.
……..
The president backed DeWine during his 2018 gubernatorial campaign. The former U.S. senator for Ohio will not be up for reelection for governor until 2022. He has received high marks for his coronavirus response, and it’s unclear if another Republican candidate would challenge an incumbent governor.
DeWine has been among the handful of prominent Republican officials who in recent days have acknowledged Biden as president-elect, even as Trump refuses to concede and spreads misleading or inaccurate claims about the election.
