US EditionOhio Democrat outlines plan to 'kill Donald Trump' via death penalty
Elliot Forhan clarified his remarks about seeking capital punishment for Donald Trump, sparking bipartisan criticism and calls for denouncement from Ohio Republicans.
- On January 27, 2026, Elliot Forhan posted a video saying he will pursue conviction and capital punishment for Donald Trump, prompting criticism from Ohio Republicans, including Keith Faber.
- During his time in the Ohio House, Elliot Forhan, Democratic candidate for Ohio attorney general, faced disciplinary action and lost committee assignments in 2023 after alleged harassment and wrote `F*** Charlie Kirk` shortly after the activist's death.
- The comments prompted a sharp backlash among Ohio Republicans, with Vivek Ramaswamy calling Democrats' silence `utterly shameful` and accusing them of implicit endorsement.
- Pressure mounted on Ohio Democrats after Dr. Amy Acton had not addressed Forhan's rhetoric by Wednesday morning, while Keith Faber said it showed Forhan was unqualified for attorney general.
- GOP officials argued the controversy undercuts Democrats in a state where Ohioans have overwhelmingly supported President Trump and urged Ohio Democrats to disavow the remarks.
