The Spectrum: Biden on the offensive; Ohio’s redistricting

COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) – This week on The Spectrum :

• President Biden goes back on the campaign trail and has his first sit-down interview since his lackluster debate performance.

“I was exhausted,” the president said during that interview. “I didn’t listen to my instincts in terms of preparing.”

Was the interview enough to convince voters and donors that he is fit for office?

• The effort to remove politicians from Ohio’s legislative map-drawing process is another step closer to getting on the ballot this fall.

“I think that the people who are making an important decision like this ought to be elected officials who are accountable to the public,” Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman (R-Lima).

“I don’t know what where accountability is right now in the system that we have, quite frankly,” retired Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Conner said.

Why voters say the stakes are too high to leave redistricting up to office holders.

• From soldier to activist.

“I was just like, ‘What have I done,’” veteran and LGBTQ+ rights activist Stephen Snyder-Hill said.

How trying to live an authentic life thrust a central Ohio man into the spotlight and almost cost him his military career.

• Democratic strategist Derrick Clay and Republican strategist Will Hinman join the roundtable to discuss the Supreme Court’s ruling giving former presidents a level of immunity to action performed while in office and a loss of confidence for President Biden.
