The urban areas other than Greater Columbus have been hemorrhaging jobs, and people who lose their jobs are going to greater Columbus or leaving the state altogether. What remains is the rural areas which are as Republican-leaning as ever. Trump flooded rural areas with crop subsidies, and even if he is the most obnoxious city slicker who has ever been a major political figure attempting to win nationwide, he got that right politically. This was enough to keep Michigan and Wisconsin close.
The Biden administration is more likely to reduce crop subsidies while supporting free trade because he has little chance to make inroads upon the rural vote. (See also Iowa).
