Two Ohio Republican legislators want June 14 to be a state holiday honoring former President Donald Trump, The Hill reports.
State Reps. Jon Cross and Reggie Stoltzfus sent out a memo on Friday seeking co-sponsors for their bill honoring Trump who “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 and that the Ohio House believes it is imperative we set aside a day to celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history,” the memo read.
The memo went on to say that millions of Ohioans “felt marginalized by our government and the American political system,” adding that the media had tarnished Trump’s legacy.
June 14 is Trump’s birthday. However, some Ohio Democrats pointed out that the proposed holiday would overlap with Flag Day, a national holiday which commemorates the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777.
