Story summary

On October 28, President Donald Trump held a rally in Chillicothe, Ohio, just days before the 2026 midterm elections, where he campaigned for Republican candidates in the state's closely watched governor and Senate races. During his speech, Trump unexpectedly commented on Jeffrey Epstein, stating that he had expelled him from Mar-a-Lago two decades earlier because he thought Epstein was a "wackjob." This came amidst ongoing controversy surrounding Trump’s past ties to Epstein, including a bawdy birthday letter reportedly written by Trump to Epstein in 2003.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
