Ohio’s Republican delegation starting with Gov. John Kasich is giving Donald Trump the cold shoulder at the GOP convention in Cleveland.
Kasich, an also-ran in the presidential sweepstakes, hasn’t endorsed Trump and won’t speak at the convention, a stunning rebuke by the most senior home-state elected official. Sen. Rob Portman, locked in a tough re-election race, is planning other events in Ohio rather than speaking at the four-day festivities.
“We all share concerns about Donald Trump,” said state Rep. Niraj Antani, a first-time delegate from southwest Ohio, where one of his legislative colleagues and fellow delegate, Shannon Jones, is staying home in an act she described as “conscientiously objecting” to Trump.
