Ohio politicians react to Trump conviction, special legislative session results, FirstEnergy scandal: Ohio Has Issues on June 5, 2024

CLEVELAND — It's an Ohio roundup edition of Ohio Has Issues with Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr., on June 5. 

First up, Ohio politicians react to former President Donald Trump's felony convictions in New York. We share the latest posts, curated by Ohio Capital Journal's Marty Schladen.

Then, we talk with Cleveland.com's Andrew Tobias to break down the results of the Ohio General Assembly's special legislative session, why Ohio keeps making history lately, and what that means for President Joe Biden making it onto Ohio's ballot in November. The Democratic National Committee also reacts to Ohio's moves.

We close things out with Cleveland.com's Jake Zuckerman, who explains what deadline is about to pass related to the FirstEnergy House Bill 6 bribery scandal, and which group is about to evade prosecution because of it, unless a specific action is taken very soon.
