While no longer a swing state, Ohio is a key battleground for Republicans in their bid to maintain their majority in the House of Representatives. It is one of three states whose congressional districts may change due to litigation before the 2026 midterm elections, according to Ballotpedia, a nonprofit online encyclopedia. The other states are Louisiana and Georgia. In Louisiana the Washington Examiner estimates one Republican seat pickup is possible. In Ohio, Republicans could pick up as many as three additional seats for a total congressional delegation of 13 Republicans and two Democrats.  The state currently has 10 Republicans and five Democrats that make up its representation in the House. Among the delegation are some of the most powerful House Republicans including the current chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan, and the past chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Turner.  While redistricting is typically done every 10 years after the U.S. census mandated by the federal Constitution, Ohio has a state Constitution that stipulates that electoral maps for U.S. representatives in the House are only in effect for four years if they are enacted without significant support from the political party in the minority in the state Legislature. That means that Ohio will be redistricted before the 2026 midterms.  Ohio Democrats Reps. Joyce Beatty and Shontel Brown, both Democrats, are generally seen as staying in safe House districts no matter how the redistricting pans out. That leaves Rep. Greg Landsman, D-Ohio, who represents the Cincinnati area, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, who comes from the Toledo area and Rep. Emelia Sykes, D-Ohio, who hails from a district that includes Akron as prime targets in the GOP’s redistricting efforts.  “It is no surprise national and state Republicans in Columbus are scheming to confuse and handpick voters by gerrymandering Ohio congressional districts again,” David Zavac, a top Kaptur staffer, told Punchbowl News about the Republicans’ redistricting effort.  Sen. Bernie Moreno, a Republican, thinks the GOP will “probably end up” winning two additional seats after the redistricting, creating a delegation of 12 Republicans and three Democrats. Ohio has reached national prominence in recent years when it provided its junior senator, JD Vance, as the vice-presidential candidate for President Donald Trump’s successful 2024 campaign. Additionally, 2024 presidential candidate and tech tycoon Vivek Ramaswamy is currently running to be the Republican candidate in the November 2026 gubernatorial election. Ramaswamy has been endorsed by Trump, Elon Musk, and the Ohio Republican Party’s state central committee.

Fordow Could Be a Tougher Nut to Crack Than Most People Think

Brian Grazer’s Hollywood bona fides speak for themselves. “Splash” “Friday Night Lights” “Apollo 13” “A Beautiful Mind” “Arrested Development” “Parenthood” The producer’s decades-long partnership with Ron Howard alone made him a critical cog in Hollywood’s machinery. Grazer spent those years digging deep for Democratic causes, becoming one of the industry’s highest-profile progressive donors. Until last year.   Brian Grazer Voted for Trump, Admitting It Felt Like "Getting Canceled" https://t.co/OPF29cHu8z — The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) June 6, 2025   The 73-year-old Grazer committed the ultimate sin in La La Land. No, he didn’t cover up for a producer accused of sexual impropriety or back a string of embarrassing flops. He voted for President Donald Trump in 2024. He even shared the revelation on a FOX Nation docuseries – “The Art of the Surge.” For that, he must suffer, according to a shocking report in the liberal Puck News. The feature, written by veteran Hollywood journalist Kim Masters, details the fallout from Grazer’s confession. For the record, the uber-producer said he voted for Trump, in part, due to President Joe Biden’s mental decline. Here’s what he told the far-Left New York Times about his voting decision. “As a centrist, it was because I could feel and see Biden’s deterioration and the lack of direction in the Democratic Party at that time.” Puck News followed up on the fallout from Grazer’s confession. Sources have told me the news that Grazer had, um, flipped came as a blow to Howard, as well as many others, including Tom Hanks…. “When this thing happened, they were beside themselves,” a well-placed source told me. Executives at the company “were getting calls from around town—they’re all mortified.” Another “high-level source” within Hollywood, according to Puck News, described the confession as “problematic for his partner and people in business with him.” The report pins Grazer’s Trump embrace on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who in recent months bought a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump for $40 million and donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund. It’s a curious turn of events given recent history. Amazon has had an alarming track record of suppressing Right-leaning content.   FLASHBACK: On February 8, 2021, Amazon stopped streaming documentary, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, during Black History Month & refused to stream it that month after being alerted to this. I wrote op-ed about this despicable conduct. https://t.co/eRneQuXWMe — Mark Paoletta (@MarkPaoletta) February 27, 2025   Grazer’s decision couldn’t possibly be connected to President Trump’s policies, the sorry state of the union or the anemic Biden/Harris ticket, according to Puck News. Set aside the journalistic hubris and Grazer’s intentions. It’s the latest example of Hollywood’s intolerance toward anyone who dares support President Trump or simply leans to the Right. Just ask James Woods … or Kevin Sorbo … or countless Republicans who stay mum lest their careers go up in smoke. For every Jon Voight or Sylvester Stallone there are many others who fear the fallout from admitting their conservative beliefs. We’re seeing that in real time. The oh, so tolerant industry shoved Grazer’s history of Democratic support aside, suggesting his career could suffer from his Trump vote. The article predicts stars will keep working for Grazer, but mostly due to the industry’s troubled state. Translation? Work is too precious these days for actors to stand on their so-called principles. Just don’t expect them to be charitable to him on the cocktail circuit. It’s the latest proof that Hollywood’s intolerance is un-American, undignified and out of control.
