It's almost like he used a positive test as a way to avoid meeting with Trump. OAITW r.2.0 Aug 2020 #2

As I heard about the second test. Mike has stayed on good terms with Trump and Pence so he can get what he needs for the state, mostly through Pence.

Mike is a dedicated Catholic. There is no way he could admire Trump. But he needs all the help he can get. DeWine has banded with neighboring states to work together since they can not expect help from the Federal Government. 3 Republicans, 3 Democrats, and they are hoping other states will join them.
