Ohio Statehouse Update: Ohio Election Summary 2020

President/Vice President of the United States

While the race for President remains too close to call nationally, as election results in several key states are still pending, in Ohio the unofficial results show that President Donald Trump beat former Vice President Joe Biden by roughly the same eight percentage point margin he carried four years ago against Hillary Clinton - 53-45%.
