Story summary

On October 28, President Donald Trump held a rally in Chillicothe, Ohio, at 7 p.m., less than a week before the 2026 midterm elections. During the event, which was part of his campaign to support Republican candidates, an unexpected twist occurred when Trump made rare comments about the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In response to heckling from the audience about his connections to Epstein, Trump said he had ejected Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club years ago because he thought Epstein was a "wackjob." This marked a notable departure from his previous silence on the subject amid ongoing controversies related to government files and documents linked to Epstein's case.

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.
