Story summary

On October 3, President Donald Trump campaigned in Vandalia, Ohio, north of Dayton, urging voters to support Republican candidates Jon Husted and Vivek Ramaswamy ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Trump warned that blocking data center construction would give China an economic advantage over the U.S., emphasizing the potential for significant financial benefits for Ohio. He argued that these centers are crucial in the global AI race, stating "There’s so much money to be made for Ohio. You can’t just turn them off. They’ll go to China." Former NFL coach Jon Gruden also endorsed Husted at the rally, highlighting his friend's commitment and mental toughness. Trump stressed the importance of voter turnout, instructing supporters to act as if he himself were on the ballot.
