Trump rallies for Husted and Ramaswamy in Youngstown

Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on October 12, urging voters to support Republican Senate candidate Jon Husted and gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The event included repeated interruptions by protesters, and rally footage described in coverage showed some being escorted out. Husted addressed the crowd before Trump. During his remarks, protesters disrupted the event and were removed, according to accounts of rally footage. Trump later spoke in support of Husted, who is competing against former senator Sherrod Brown, and Ramaswamy, who is running for governor against Amy Acton. Trump urged supporters to vote and argued that Republican candidates’ prospects had improved since his previous Ohio rally. He cited a graphic showing Husted’s polling from September 24 to October 7 and claimed his rallies had helped lift the numbers. The supplied material does not establish the polling methodology or that the rally caused any change. A separate disturbance occurred during Trump’s remarks.
