Watch Live – Trump Rally in Chillicothe, Ohio
Trump is scheduled to begin his remarks at approximately 7 p.m. ET. Rally schedules can shift, so the actual start time may be later. Watch the full event live below.
The Chillicothe stop comes with both of Ohio’s major statewide races drawing national attention. Husted is facing former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in the special U.S. Senate election, while Ramaswamy is running against Democrat Amy Acton for governor.
Wednesday’s rally will be Trump’s third Ohio appearance this month following earlier stops in Vandalia and Youngstown. The repeated visits underscore how much attention Republicans are giving the state during the final week, especially with both the Senate and governor contests remaining competitive.
The Ohio governor race has also drawn fresh national attention following controversy over a Ramaswamy campaign ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother. The ad has divided Republicans, with some prominent GOP figures criticizing it while others, including Vice President JD Vance, have defended Ramaswamy.
Trump’s Chillicothe appearance continues a heavy late-October campaign schedule as Republicans work to boost turnout across Senate, governor and House races before Election Day.
