YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Across the state of Ohio, political tensions are heating up ... and burning red.

Democrats across the state champion the failure of Issue 1 as a preliminary win on the battle for abortion rights in the state. At the same time, those election results reveal some Republicans at a breaking point within party politics, calling out the August election to raise the threshold to pass constitutional amendments to 60 percent, as an overstep by top Republicans.

Governor Mike DeWine says, when it comes to Issue 1, "It's time to move on."

DeWine says he's focused on re-uniting the Republican Party ahead of the November election, where a measure to enshrine abortion protections into the constitution will appear on the ballot. It's a measure the Governor says he's firmly against.

"This is abortion on demand" DeWine says. "It's a radical proposal."

Governor DeWine declined to speak on whether he'd consider proposing or implementing restrictions, should the measure pass. Instead, DeWine says it's up to the people to decide at the polls. 

"What we need to do is reach a consensus and somewhere on the issue where a majority of people feel comfortable," the Governor says.

The party, also split on backing Trump during the Republican Primary. Despite being a clear frontrunner in recent polls, the twice-impeached former president's campaign is overshadowed by financial troubles, and a potential fourth indictment on the horizon.

Governor DeWine didn't mention Trump by name when asked if he believed Republicans should consider other candidates more favorably, but says the political process is underway for the candidates on the trail.

"We have an ongoing political process to elect the president. There are candidates who were out today in the Iowa Fair, cooking and eating pizza, and whatever they eat there. So, look, the campaign goes on and we'll see what happens," says DeWine.
