Trump supporters in Ohio boo his 'good friend' at campaign rally
Supporters of US President Donald Trump boo Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine after the Republican nominee calls him his "good friend" at a 2020 campaign rally.
At the top of his remarks in Dayton, the president introduced DeWine, describing the governor as "somebody that's been with me from the beginning, and I've been with him from the beginning."
The president appeared to have been surprised when he heard the crowd booing rather than cheering him.
Whoa. Trump introduces Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine -- and the crowd boos him!

"He's opening up," Trump said, attempting to settle his fans. "Thank you, Mike. He's a good man."
Endorsed by Trump in 2018, DeWine reportedly earned the hostile reception due his stiff measures to tackle the coronavirus, an approach considered at odds with Trump's.
"Our preliminary data indicate that the rate of increase in new cases has slowed in the high-risk counties where masks are already mandated, so we are cautiously optimistic that things are heading in the right direction," DeWine said in a statement in July. "We believe that requiring masks statewide will make a significant difference and will be key to making sure other counties do not progress to a higher level of increased spread."
Lt. Gov. Jon Husted was also booed before Trump's speech as he called on crowd to wear masks.
