Share This article

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is traveling to Ohio Saturday to stump for Sen. Troy Balderson who is running for Congress in Ohio's 12th district.


It's at the Delaware County Fairgrounds that Trump plans to hold a rally aiming to help Republicans maintain control in the House.

Balderson is facing Democrat Danny O'Connor on Aug. 7 in what is turning out to be a tight race in a red district.

The election is being labeled a "toss-up" by national political analysts, which is why Trump is making a pit stop in Central Ohio.

"President Trump has demonstrated that he's all-in for our GOP candidates this year, so he's looking forward to showing his support for Troy Balderson in Ohio's 12th congressional district special election," USA Today quoted Michael Glassner, chief operating officer for Trump's re-election campaign.

This will be Trump's third campaign stop for the GOP following trips to Pennsylvania and Florida.
