CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s choice to skip the GOP convention in Cleveland is turning into a feud with Donald Trump’s campaign.
State GOP Chairman Matt Borges tweeted Monday that Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he said Kasich is hurting his state and a key Senate incumbent in a tough re-election race.
Borges tweeted, “Manafort still has a lot to learn about Ohio politics,” adding, “Hope he can do better.”
Kasich has declined to endorse Trump and is spending convention week meeting with state delegations and other Republican groups.
