📍 Avon, Ohio

#OHSen candidate @JDVance1 is kicking off Election Day Eve with an event in Lorain County.

“The biggest threat to American security in my lifetime is this terrible crisis at the southern border,” Vance says, as he delivers his usual stump speech.

~60 people here.

As the #OHSen race winds down, I asked @JDVance1 what block of voters has been the toughest to get through to.

“…a lot of the Trump base is still very hard to get through to, in part because they don’t trust the press — in my view, rightfully so.”

He also says suburban women.

In Avon, I asked #OHSen candidate @JDVance1 what he says to voters who like outgoing-@senrobportman’s dealmaking style on Capitol Hill and wonder if Vance will replicate it.

“I’m running to get things done. And that’s the way in which I think Senator Portman really is a model.”

📍 Perrysburg, Ohio

Lieutenant Governor @JonHusted introduces #OHSen candidate @JDVance1 at an event in Wood County. (~30 people here)

“JD gets it. He really does. He gets what Ohio’s about.”

#OH09 candidate @JRMajewski is also here.

In Perrysburg, #OHSen candidate @JDVance1 called #OH09 candidate @JRMajewski a “friend” and said, throughout the campaign, “JR has made a very good set of enemies.”

(The @NRCC canceled ad money to help Majewski after the @AP reported he misrepresented his military service)

📍 Vandalia, Ohio

The crowd is filling in for former President Donald Trump’s rally in support of #OHSen candidate @JDVance1 — his third this year.

Several Ohio GOP House members are also expected to speak.

I’ve spotted conspiracy theorists Mike Lindell and @RepMTG here too.
