Donald Trump plans to visit Ohio to campaign for Sen. Jon Husted, who faces a competitive challenge from former Sen. Sherrod Brown. The race is described as important to control of the Senate.
Trump plans to visit Vandalia on Saturday in support of Husted, after campaign stops in Oklahoma and Alabama. Trump had previously said he would campaign in 35 competitive battleground races before the November midterm elections. The article describes the Ohio race as vital to determining control of the Senate.

Vance left the seat to become vice president. Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou said he hoped Trump would visit and called him a turnout driver.
