Gut punch in Ohio: Nearly 1,400 laid off at truck factory just days before Trump rally

Nearly 1,400 workers were laid off at the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio on Wednesday, a move timed just three days before President Donald Trump’s Saturday rally near a high school in the area. The layoffs, in Springfield, Ohio, erased roughly a year of job growth in the broader Dayton region. Kyle Bos, a United Auto Workers member who says he has voted for Trump multiple times, described rising grocery costs and personal uncertainty as he prepares to spend the final weeks of the campaign canvassing for Democrats. The article frames the situation as part of a working-class political shift ahead of the November election, with an Ohio Senate race also at stake between Republican Jon Husted and Democrat Sherrod Brown.
