In every election since Abraham Lincoln won the presidency in 1860, Ohio has only voted against the eventual winner of the presidency four times with the last time happening 60 years ago. In addition to this, no Republican candidate has won the presidency without winning the state as well. In November, we’ll see if President Trump will be able to build on the movement that led him to the White House in 2016 or if Vice President Biden can swing this battleground state and secure the spot for himself.

In 1960, the last time Ohioans voted against the eventual winner of the presidency, the state represented 25 electoral votes. Over the years their population has declined relative to the rest of the country and their vote share has diminished too. Even though they only have 18 votes this year, those votes make up a bloc that both parties are eager to get in their camp.
