President Donald Trump addressed supporters in Vandalia, Ohio, advocating for data center development as crucial for economic growth and competition with China in artificial intelligence. He emphasized potential financial gains but faced criticism from Senator Sherrod Brown, who accused Lieutenant Governor-turned-Senator John Husted of giving significant tax breaks to tech companies to build data centers without addressing the negative impacts on local communities.

Story summary
On October, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Vandalia, Ohio, aimed at energizing Republican voters ahead of the midterms. This followed similar rallies in Alabama and other conservative states over the past few days. At the event, he endorsed GOP Senate candidate Jon Husted and gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, while also promoting economic growth in Ohio, including new data center investments that he warned could shift to China if blocked. Trump urged voters to support Republicans as a way to maintain political and economic gains since his presidency, emphasizing the importance of voter turnout for what he predicted would be a surprising outcome against expectations of Democratic victories.
