2 hours agoTrump boosts GOP’s Jon Husted in Ohio Senate contest as Obama backs Dem challenger Sherrod Brown
President Donald Trump issued a Truth Social post early Thursday urging people to vote for Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, as the lawmaker faces former Sen. Sherrod Brown in the Buckeye State’s special U.S. Senate election.
“Jon Husted, who is running for the Senate in the Great State of Ohio, is an ALL AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYER! He played Safety and, in one season, had 17 Interceptions, a record. As everyone knows, he has, and always will have, my Complete and Total Endorsement! Jon is one of the Greatest Players in the History of the State of Ohio, and he will make a fabulous Senator, beating a guy, Sherrod Brown, who got thrown out by the people three years ago. He was beaten by a now fantastic Senator, Bernie Moreno,” the president declared in the 2:00 am ET post.
“GET OUT AND VOTE FOR JON HUSTED! He will make Ohio proud, just like he made Jon Gruden and his teammates proud, in helping Dayton win so many Football games, some of which, they said, were unwinnable — Except for Jon Husted’s brilliant playing. In Politics, he will be even better than he was at Football. AGAIN, JON HUSTED HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump added.
Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama is backing Brown in the race.
“I’m coming for you, Ohio! Join me in Cleveland on October 24 for a rally to support @AmyActonOH, @SherrodBrown, and Democrats up and down the ballot,” Obama declared earlier this week in a post on X.
