When Republican then-Gov. John Kasich declined to debate his Democratic opponent in the 2014 election, he was the first incumbent Ohio governor to do so for nearly 40 years.
COLUMBUS, Ohio –
“I’m out every single day talking with the people of the state of Ohio,” DeWine said on Friday. “There’s been no governor that’s had more press conferences than I had, answered more questions asked by the news media.” In dueling public announcements, Ryan last week announced plans to participate in three debates, while Vance said he’d agreed to two debates. The details didn’t line up though, with Ryan and Vance both agreeing to debate in Cincinnati on different dates, and Vance agreeing to a second debate in Cleveland while Ryan’s agreed events are happening in Akron and Youngstown.
The process of debating is a longstanding tradition in politics. Supporters of the institution say it offers voters a chance to see candidates in a more spontaneous setting, showing how they’re able to think on their feet while getting them somewhat off their tightly scripted campaign messaging. A standard political calculation also is that debates can be risky to candidates. By agreeing to a debate, a frontrunner could compromise their position by helping bring attention to their lesser-known opponent, or by making a public error that can be used against them.
