CINCINNATI—Cincinnati is a deep-blue city where a Republican has not sat in the mayor’s seat since the late 1970s, and the city council is composed solely of Democrats. Cory Bowman, who is Vice President JD Vance’s half brother, is running for mayor. He and GOP city council candidates hope to change this southwest Ohio community’s political makeup on Election Day in three weeks.
Incumbent Mayor Aftab Pureval, a Democrat, has said that Bowman has no political experience and labeled his opponent as “MAGA” during a debate last week.
