STEPHANOPOULOS: Big special election coming up in Ohio on Tuesday and we’re talking to the Governor of Ohio, John Kasich. He joins us this morning from Columbus. Governor, thank you for joining us this morning. You saw the president last night. Pretty hot inside that arena last night. Kind of surprising that he even has to come to Ohio for a special election in a district that he won by double digits. Why is it even close?
GOV. JOHN KASICH, R-OHIO: Well George, I think if you take a couple thing — first of all, the chaos that seems to surround Donald Trump has unnerved a lot of people. So suburban women in particular here are the ones that are really turned off. And you add to that the, you know, millenials, you — you have it very close. It’s really kind of shocking because this should be just a slam dunk and it’s not.
What I also will tell you, George, is the Democrats have a — have a weak candidate because there’s no message. So it’s likely in the end that Balderson should — should be able to win narrowly. But it’s pretty surprising. But it’s — it really doesn’t bode well for the Republican party because this should be — shouldn’t even be contested.
