Story summary

President Donald Trump held a rally in Highland Heights, Kentucky, on Saturday, October 17, 2026, to boost Republican candidates ahead of the midterms. This was part of his strategy to shore up support for Ed Gallrein, who is running for the U.S. House seat that could be at risk for Republicans. Trump's visit emphasized his second term's power and ability to effect change, such as renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." The rally came after he visited Ohio four times during his current term, highlighting the importance of these battleground states for preserving the Republican Senate majority and narrowing their House majority. Democratic Governor Andy Beshear warned that Trump’s campaign efforts indicate a potential threat to Republicans' chances in competitive races.
