President Trump to Host Midterm Campaign Rally in Vandalia
Trump will campaign for Jon Husted and Vivek Ramaswamy as Republicans seek to turn out voters in tight Ohio races, officials said.
President Donald Trump will hold a midterm campaign rally on Saturday at the Butler-Vandalia Student Activity Center in Vandalia, Ohio, to boost support for Republican Senator Jon Husted and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Ohio has emerged as an unexpected battleground, with both Senate and gubernatorial races considered toss-ups; Senator Husted is calculating that tying himself to Trump will energize the president's base to head to the polls.
A Suffolk University/USA Today Ohio Network poll released October 1 found Brown leading Husted 46% to 44%. Husted stated, "There are a lot of people in Ohio who he can motivate to get out and vote."
Montgomery County Democratic Party Chair Jocelyn Rhynard criticized the visit, stating Trump's arrival reflects campaign struggles; city officials announced temporary road closures and traffic detours near the high school.
This rally marks part of Trump's pledged 32-day campaign blitz leading up to November 3, targeting voters who participate in presidential elections but skip gubernatorial ones to maintain Republican momentum.
