Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) on Sunday defended measures he has taken to reopen Ohio’s economy following closures due to the CCP virus pandemic, saying it won’t be possible to do so unless people “have confidence.”

During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” De Wine said that although there are risks to reopening the state’s economy, “it’s really a risk no matter what we do.”
