Trump rallies in Ohio to boost Husted in tight Senate race against Brown
En breve
President Donald Trump rallied Saturday in Vandalia, Ohio, outside Dayton, to boost Republican Sen. Jon Husted in one of the cycle's top-tier Senate races against former three-term Sen. Sherrod Brown. Trump also defended data centers that power AI projects, a contentious issue in Ohio, where Husted has been attacked over his role in attracting them as lieutenant governor. The rally is part of what Trump says will be a 32-day blitz ahead of the Nov. 3 elections.
Por qué importa
Ohio is one of the races Democrats list as necessary to win Senate control, and the head of the Senate GOP campaign arm described it as one of 10 battleground races within striking distance. The rally also put a national campaign issue — opposition to AI data centers over electricity prices, farmland and water — on the agenda in a battleground state.
