Trump campaigns for Ohio GOP candidates at Dayton-area rally

VANDALIA, Ohio (WTVG) - Former President Donald Trump is heading to the buckeye state to stump for Ohio’s GOP U.S. Senate candidate and other Ohio Republicans on the ballot ahead of the November general election, the Vance campaign said.

JD Vance and Trump are holding a rally in Ohio the day before election day. It’s scheduled for 8:00 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 7 in Vandalia, not far from Dayton, at the Dayton airport. JD Vance (R) is running against Congressman Tim Ryan (D) for the U.S. Senate seat to be vacated by Rob Portman.

The Save America PAC said Trump hopes to “advance the MAGA agenda by energizing voters and highlighting the slate of 16-0 Trump Endorsed America First candidates,” including JD Vance.

The list of guest speakers at the event includes the following:

• J.D. Vance, Republican Nominee for U.S. Senator for Ohio
• Rep. Jim Jordan, U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 4th Congressional District
• Rep. Mike Turner, U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 10th Congressional District
• Rep. Warren Davidson, U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District
• Rep. Mike Carey, U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 15th Congressional District
• Hon. Max Miller, Candidate for U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District
• JR Majewski, Candidate for U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District

The Ohio Democratic Party released the following statement ahead of the rally:

“Tonight, Donald Trump is coming in to try to save a lackluster bunch of Ohio Republicans who desperately need saving. From a California transplant running for senate, whose campaign has been on life support from the beginning, to a governor who has been running for office for 40 years that Trump once called on Republicans to primary, it’s clear these Republicans need all the help they can get. We’re confident Ohio voters will see through the last minute act of desperation and elect Democrats up and down the ballot tomorrow.” -- ODP Chair Elizabeth Walters

Parking and vender row opens at 8:00 a.m. and doors open at 3:00 p.m. Guest speakers will begin remarks at 5:00 p.m. and the former president will speak at 8:00 p.m.
