This is not the first time the two have been opponents in an election – Republican DeWine ousted incumbent Democrat Cordray to become the Ohio attorney general in 2010. Cordray later became the leader of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Ohio governor race is seen as a proxy battle between the Trumpian faction of the Republican Party and the centrist, Obama-influenced Democratic politics. President Trump has endorsed and appeared at a rally for DeWine, while former President Barack Obama has done the same for Cordray.
