President Donald Trump appears to be encouraging a primary challenge to Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
Trump tweeted on Monday morning "Who will be running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio? Will be hotly contested!"
DeWine was a co-chair of Trump's re-election campaign in Ohio, but he was among a select group of Republicans who last week acknowledged former Vice President Joe Biden as president-elect.
On CNN on Sunday, DeWine said Trump should begin the transition to Biden. Trump has refused to concede the race and has used his Twitter account to advance unfounded conspiracy theories about the election.

(23,935 posts)the way things stand now, he's almost guaranteed to get that role, especially once his pet "news" and social media organizations coordinate and pipeline the distribution of rightwing agitprop
doesn't mean DeWine is out, but he's obligated to do some public ass kissing (full tongue required) to regain favor
