Columbus (AFP) - Emily Horace, Kate Koennecke and Raiden Sipes still don't know who will get their votes in next year's White House race -- but the university students know their ballots could be pivotal, and say they are taking the choice seriously. In the 2020 contest pitting then-incumbent Donald Trump against Joe Biden, young voters helped put the Democrat in the Oval Office. But for 2024, early indications are not looking good for a repeat, activists and Democratic Party strategists warn. The 80-year-old Biden, whose poll numbers are dismal, could lose a significant proportion of the yout...

Washington (AFP) - Republican J.D. Vance, the best-selling "Hillbilly Elegy" author backed by former president Donald Trump, won a contentious race for Ohio's open US Senate seat Tuesday, networks projected, in a disappointment for Democratic President Joe Biden. The win for the Republicans does not represent a gain of a seat in the 100-member Senate, as Vance and rival Tim Ryan, a Democratic congressman, were vying to replace retiring Republican Rob Portman. But it marks a failure of Biden's Democrats to flip a competitive seat in the all-important battle for control of the Senate, which is c...

Washington (AFP) - J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate for the US Senate who had received former president Donald Trump's endorsement, has won his party's hotly-contested primary in Ohio, US media projected Tuesday. Like many Republicans, the 37-year-old was initially critical of Trump during the latter's rise in politics -- at one point even calling him "America's Hitler" -- but later became an ardent supporter, emulating the former president's firebrand style of populism. A former Marine and graduate of the Ivy League Yale Law School, Vance first shot to fame with the publication of his 2016 ...

Washington (AFP) - Opening arguments began on Tuesday in the trial of a doctor in the midwestern US state of Ohio accused of 14 counts of murder for prescribing painkillers to critically ill patients. William Husel, 46, is facing charges for deaths that occurred at Mount Carmel West hospital in Columbus between February 2015 and November 2018. Husel, who has pleaded not guilty, was originally indicted for 25 counts of murder but 11 counts were dismissed by a judge in January at the request of prosecutors. The patients who died were in the intensive care unit of the hospital and ranged in age f...

Washington (AFP) - The US city of Columbus, Ohio, has reached a $10 million settlement with the family of an unarmed Black man who was killed by a police officer last year. Andre Hill, 47, was shot dead on December 22 by Columbus police officer Adam Coy. Coy, who is white, was subsequently dismissed from the police force and faces murder charges. Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said the $10 million settlement is the largest in the history of the midwestern city. "We understand that because of this former officer's actions, the Hill family will never be whole," Klein said in a statement. "No ...

Washington (AFP) - Police in the US state of Ohio fatally shot a Black teenager who appeared to be lunging at another person with a knife, less than an hour before former officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd. The shooting occurred at a tense time with growing outrage against racial injustice and police brutality in the United States, and set off protests in the city of Columbus. The city's police chief Michael Woods said officers were responding to a 911 emergency call about a disturbance Tuesday afternoon from someone who feared being stabbed, around 4:30 pm local tim...
