The House GOP campaign arm is slashing a near-$1 million ad buy meant to target Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) — essentially walking away from what could have been an easy pickup for the party.

I’ve still got the Ohio 9th as a Tossup Race. However, JR Majewski is likely to undershoot my projections, because he’s the type of candidate that is really going to freak out swing voters:
– Believes in QAnon
