Why the GOP Is now worried about Ohio

Ohio was a political bellwether for many years, but has trended solidly Republican since Donald Trump entered politics. But now, Democrats are closing the gap in races for Ohio governor and U.S. senator. Why are Republicans worried they'll lose these seats — and what's making Democrats optimistic of their chances?

This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and Ohio Statehouse Newsroom bureau chief Karen Kasler.
