DSCC Executive Director Tom Lopach released the following statement on Senator Rob Portman’s announcement on Donald Trump:
“While Governor Kasich had the courage to stand up to Donald Trump as he proved himself time and again to be unfit for the presidency, Senator Portman stood by Trump’s side for months as he waged a campaign of hatred and bigotry that aimed to tear Americans apart. His decision today is nothing more than a cowardly political calculation made by a man who has spent his career in Washington. Senator Portman made his bed with Trump a long time ago, and Ohio voters won’t forget that he stood with Trump instead of standing for them.
