President Donald Trump on Monday kicked off a week of red-state campaigning with a raucous rally in Ohio, where Republicans are fighting to hold onto a Senate seat that could be key to the majority.
After Ohio, Trump’s scheduled to hit Alaska and Montana — states he won by 13 and 20 points in 2024 — as his team banks on him juicing base turnout in conservative areas. But on Monday night — as Trump returned to the same arena where he held a packed 2017 ‘thank you’ tour — large sections of seating on the left and right of the press riser, which came with prime views of the president, were empty.
