Columbus, OH – This week, J.D. Vance finally visited Ohio – the state he supposedly wants to represent in the U.S. Senate – amidst a week of brutal stories about how terrible of a campaign he is running.
Here’s what they are saying about Vance’s abysmal operation:

- “When the fundraising numbers came out, it’s full-on panic now.” –One GOP Ohio source to Daily Beast
