UPS AND DOWNS: Ohio GOP Turnout Up 28%, Democrats Turnout Down 27%

If the numbers from the Ohio primaries are any indication, a red wave is certainly on the way.

According to MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki, Republican turnout in the Buckeye State was up 28% while many Democrats decided to sit this one out —blue voter turnout was down 27%.

Trump-endorsed candidates had a huge night, with the former president’s picks going 22-0 in Ohio and Indiana. Former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway says Ohio is still very much Trump country.

“Ohio is still Trump country even though some people pretend it’s not. Huge night for America first leader Donald Trump,” Conway said on The Ingraham Angle. “I think you call it the Trump bump.”
