GOP Convention Highlights Portman’s Influence

Washington Post: “Tuesday’s announcement that the 2016 Republican National Convention will be held in Cleveland underscored the importance of Ohio in the party’s national strategy to win back the White House and affirmed the influence of Sen. Rob Portman, who pushed for months for the lakeside city to land the coveted nominating convention.”

“But Portman (R-OH) is interested in more than just hosting the convention in his home state. He would like a starring role, perhaps as his party’s presidential nominee.”
