Former President Donald Trump told a Long Island, New York, rally crowd on Wednesday night that he is going to Springfield, Ohio.
Residents of Springfield, Ohio, are hoping the attention sparked by former President Donald Trump spreading unsubstantiated rumors about the city’s legal Haitian immigrants eating house pets will blow over.
In a Facebook post, Bruce Zuchowski said his comments were "misinterpreted," but added, chillingly, "With elections, there are consequences."
The Ohio Ballot Board tweaked, then gave final approval to controversial ballot language describing Issue 1, a proposal to overhaul the state's redistricting process.
The Washington Post's Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann sit down with Senior Video Journalist Jorge Ribas, who just got back from Springfield, Ohio – where the neighborhood pets are decidedly not being eaten.
The woman has since deleted the post claiming that one of her Haitian neighbors might have taken a neighbor’s cat. But it took on a life of its own.
There are a dozen contested state House seats scattered across central Ohio on the November ballot. Doctors, lawyers, newcomers and others are among those seeking election to two-year terms. Here are the contested districts, a brief description of what they cover, and the candidates:
Former President Donald Trump announced that he will visit Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado, in the not-too-distant future. “I’m going to Springfield, and I’m going to Aurora,” Trump said during a political rally on Wednesday.
Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck said there’s no evidence of any cats or other pets being harmed or eaten by the Haitian immigrants.
The Ohio secretary of state's office was among at least 15 election offices nationwide to receive a suspicious package.
