Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced on Twitter Thursday that he plans to active about 300 Ohio National Guard members for the first presidential debate in Cleveland next Tuesday.
Why it matters: The National Guard will assist Cleveland police officers to "ensure a safe and secure environment" for debate attendees, DeWine wrote. The move follows months of protests and unrest across the United States.
The mainstream media turned away. But online, President Trump's charges about Hunter Biden were by far the dominant storyline about the final presidential debate, according to exclusive NewsWhip data provided to Axios.

President Trump's final debate performance exceeded Americans' expectations, but it wasn't enough to shift the dynamics that left him trailing Joe Biden across most measures, according to a new Axios-SurveyMonkey poll.
What they're saying: "Liar" was the word used most by debate watchers to describe Trump's performance, followed by "lies," "strong," "presidential" and "childish." "Presidential" was the word used most to describe Biden's performance, followed by "liar," "weak," "expected" and "honest."
