Two Ohio Lawmakers are Proposing an Annual State Holiday to Honor Former President Trump
Washington (CNN)Two Ohio Republican state lawmakers want to designate June 14 as an annual state holiday honoring former President Donald Trump.
In a memo sent last week to members of the Ohio state House, GOP Reps. Jon Cross and Reggie Stoltzfus called on their colleagues to co-sponsor their bill, which looks to declare June 14 — Trump’s birthday — as “President Donald J. Trump Day.”
The pair wrote that Trump “against great odds, accomplished many things that have led our nation to unparalleled prosperity.”
“Let’s show the 3,154,834 Ohio voters (a record and historic number of votes received for President in Ohio) who cast their ballot to re-elect Donald J. Trump that we as a legislature recognize the accomplishments of his administration,” the memo reads, adding that “the Ohio House believes it is imperative we set aside a day to celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history.”
