Vice President JD Vance to hold Ohio rally amid tight Senate race

Vice President JD Vance will return to Ohio ahead of the midterm election, headlining a rally at Allen County Regional Airport in Lima on Oct. 9. The Republican National Committee said the event begins at 12:15 p.m., with Vance scheduled to speak at 1:40 p.m. The visit is the second of three Ohio rallies in just 10 days, following President Donald Trump’s appearance near Dayton on Oct. 3 and another stop in Youngstown on Oct. 12. The flurry of campaign stops reflects how tight Republicans view the U.S. Senate race between Sen. Jon Husted and former Sen. Sherrod Brown, currently held by Vance. National control of the Senate for the remainder of Trump’s term could hinge on the outcome.
