Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said Wednesday that while he backed President Trump's re-election bid, he is prepared to accept a potential Joe Biden victory if the race winds up tilting that way.
DeWine, whose state was projected Tuesday night to lend its 18 electoral votes to the incumbent, did not address Trump directly in his comments, but they came after the president and his campaign have called for the counting of mail-in votes in swing states to be halted. The governor made it clear he believes "in counting all the votes" and that "we as a country accept election results."
