Barack Obama: “We have a very strong friendship between the two countries, but we can always make it stronger.”

Please join me in supporting Sherrod Brown. He’ll always fight for Ohio.

I’m going to insist that we can do better than we’re doing right now.

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.

This race is going to be close. It could determine which party controls the Senate and whether Ohioans can count on the people in Washington to be fighting for you.
