5 things to know about Tuesday's election results: Vivek, Ohio and Indiana
4. Ohio Attorney General candidate who fantasized about killing Trump loses
While the high-profile primaries for the Ohio governor’s race as well as the state’s U.S. Senate race resulted in landslide or unanimous victories for the winners, the Democratic primary for Ohio Attorney General was comparatively closer. Unofficial results show John Kulewicz winning the Democratic primary with 63.2% of the vote against Elliot Forhan, who captured 36.8% of the vote. Kulewicz won all but nine counties in the state.
Forhan drew pushback for a social media post he made in January suggesting that he wanted to see Trump executed. “I want to tell you what I mean when I say I am going to kill Trump,” Forhan said in a video posted to Facebook on Jan. 27. “I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment.”
Kulewicz condemned Forhan’s comments as “disgraceful” in a Jan. 27 X post. According to Kulewicz, “The AG is the chief law officer of our state, a serious responsibility, not a political game. The AG must take the law and judicial process seriously.”
Kulewicz elaborated on his opposition to Forhan’s rhetoric in an op-ed published by The Toledo Blade in late January. “Whoever holds the office has a responsibility to the people of Ohio to respect the law and the judiciary… not a place for playing politics with people’s lives or wasting time and tax dollars on political stunts.”
