Trump Launches 32-Day Midterm Blitz With Ohio Rally for Tight GOP Races
3 articles · Updated · WLWT Cincinnati · Oct 4
Summary
Trump heads to Vandalia, Ohio, on Saturday for a rally backing Republican candidates in races nearing the Nov. 3 finish.
The stop is part of a 32-day campaign push by Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who have already campaigned in Texas and Oklahoma and next head to Grand Island, Nebraska, on Monday.
Ohio is a prime target: Republican Sen. Jon Husted faces former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in a competitive Senate contest, while Vivek Ramaswamy runs against Amy Acton for governor.
3:30 p.m. doors and a 5:30 p.m. program at the Vandalia event will bring major traffic restrictions, including daytime closures near East Alkaline Springs Road and an evening shutdown on part of Dixie Drive.
Trump has framed the rallies as a turnout test for his coalition, telling supporters to "pretend I'm running" because Republicans perform better when he is on the ballot.
