Sen. JD Vance, Donald Trump's 2024 running mate, continues to fuel the firestorm surrounding Springfield, Ohio, with false claims about Haitian migrants.

(SPRINGFIELD, Ohio) — In the quiet corners of Springfield, Ohio — out of sight of the drumbeat of politicians and journalists, troopers and newly installed security cameras — the people who live here are taking a breath, praying and attempting to carry on.

Donald Trump promised to visit the city “in the next two weeks.” Some residents welcomed a visit, but others were opposed, as officials said preparations were underway.

Former President Donald Trump said he plans to visit Springfield, Ohio — the city of which he has spread lies about migrants eating residents’ pets — despite local officials saying the town already has an intense strain on its resources.

Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has avoided specifically criticizing former President Donald Trump or Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, by name.

The Ohio Ballot Board tweaked, then gave final approval to controversial ballot language describing Issue 1, a proposal to overhaul the state's redistricting process.

NEW YORK (AP) — Journalists at a news site that covers the Haitian community in the United States say they’ve been harassed and intimidated with racist messages for covering a fake story about immigrants eating the pets of people in an Ohio town.

The Ohio Supreme Court will inevitably rule on abortion access decisions following the passage of last year’s reproductive rights amendment — meaning whichever justices are elected this year will help determine what abortion care looks like in Ohio.

Trump has pushed baseless claims about Haitian migrants' eating pets in the beleaguered city, which has repeatedly been debunked.

Ohio election officials have approved ballot language that will describe this fall’s Issue 1 as requiring gerrymandering when the proposal is intended to do the opposite.
