Donald Trump held an Ohio rally to support Republican Sen. Jon Husted in a competitive Senate race against former Sen. Sherrod Brown. The report also describes the candidates’ dispute over data centers and the race’s tightness, as well as the rally’s attention to Ohio’s gubernatorial contest.
Trump campaigned in southwestern Ohio and urged voters to treat him as if he were on the November ballot. The article presents Husted’s Senate race against Brown as a pivotal contest and reports that Tim Scott said the race had become “right at a dead-even race.”
The candidates clashed over data centers: Brown criticized Husted’s role in attracting them and alleged that Husted’s tax breaks for technology companies left Ohioans paying the costs; Husted and Scott defended a proposal to make large power users bear more of the expense. Trump, meanwhile, argued that the United States should not give up advances in artificial intelligence to China. The report also describes a close Ohio governor’s race between Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton.

18 OUTLETSTrump campaigned in Ohio to support Jon Husted in a close Senate race against Sherrod Brown. Outlets also identify data centers and energy costs as campaign issues. Left-leaning outlets tie Brown’s challenge to Husted’s data-center record, much as center outlets describe the dispute as a campaign issue. Center outlets largely present the rally and race descriptively, while one article fact-checks claims by Trump and Husted, calling several misleading or false.
