For one thing, Russia interfered. For another, the media cheered Republicans.
Both of these are objectively false.
Democrats did poorly in Ohio because it's rapidly trending Republican, not because the media cheered on Republicans or because of muh Russia.
Hilary was a female trying to win OH as well, and Betty Sutton has been trying to become governor for the longest. Should Beto or Biden become nominee, the state may vote differently.
Harris will be viewed as another Hilary
Cordray and Dettelbach are female maybe ?
