Epoch Times, One America News and Breitbart News report that President Donald Trump held a midterm campaign rally at the Shoemaker Center on Ohio University’s Chillicothe campus in Chillicothe, Ohio, on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The outlets say the rally supported Republican Sen. Husted against Democrat Sherrod Brown in the Senate race and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy for governor. Breitbart reports that Trump called Brown a stone-cold loser for Ohio and said Brown voted ten times for sanctuary cities. Epoch Times reports that about 2,500 people attended and that many more waited outside once the venue was full. The rally was Trump’s third Ohio event in October, less than a week before the midterm elections, and Trump touted economic achievements, tax cuts and border security.
