Local Democrats praise Biden's decision, ready for new candidate
After Joe Biden announced Sunday afternoon that he was suspending his presidential re-election campaign, Democrats in Toledo, Lucas County, and Ohio expressed both gratitude to the President and excitement to rally behind his ballot replacement. “My first reaction was to thank the President for this major sacrifice,” state Sen. Paula Hicks-Hudson (D., Toledo) said. “As someone who has reached such a pinnacle of success and then seeing that it’s for the good of the country, for the good of the party that he stepped aside.” Mr. Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place atop the Democratic Party ticket “makes good sense,” Ms. Hicks-Hudson said. “Not only has she been his partner for the last four years, she’s actually probably the most qualified of all the candidates,” the state senator said.

Chinese sister city delegation coming to Toledo
A delegation from Nanchong, China, will visit Toledo on Monday. While tensions between the United States and China may be high as national politicians threaten trade wars and arm themselves in the Taiwan Strait, the cities are looking forward to renewing their friendship. “Given that this is a visit with Chinese officials and a Chinese sister city, I think that there is an additional layer to this visit,” Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said. “Whatever the national politicians might have to say about China, I think at the grassroots level here in Toledo, we can transcend a lot of that just by focusing on the human needs that all people have whether they’re Chinese or American.” He went on to talk about the importance of bringing the delegation to the middle of the country, to give them a fuller picture of what American life actually entails outside of the coasts that receive much of the media attention. While much of the visit will focus on simply getting to know Nanchong’s new mayor, Yin Nianhong, he hopes that visiting Toledo will shed new light on how the trade war affects midwestern cities.
Toledo groups tackling polarization with cross-partisan events
Second of two parts Thinking about the challenges facing American political discourse, Alfonso Narvaez, a self-described community leader in Toledo, harkened back to the words of Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided cannot stand.” Dan Messina, who works with a group focused on creating political dialogue, found inspiration in a different Lincoln quote: “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.” The fact that both men looked to President Lincoln, who guided the nation through its most divisive political moment, for inspiration in the present seems apt as the Pew Research Center reports that Democrats and Republicans feel farther apart than they have in decades.
