The Cincinnati Enquirer reported on Trump’s scheduled rally speech:

Former President Donald Trump arrives in Ohio today to campaign for his preferred U.S. Senate candidate ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

Trump is scheduled to speak at 4 p.m. at a rally for businessman Bernie Moreno, who is running for the chance to take on Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown this fall. The event at the Dayton International Airport was organized by Buckeye Values PAC, an outside group supporting Moreno’s campaign.

Moreno is running in the Republican primary against Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan, R-Chagrin Falls. Trump endorsed Moreno back in December, which many observers thought would make Moreno the clear frontrunner. Instead, the candidates are locked in a tight battle as the race nears its end − with many Republicans still unsure who to support.

Ahead of Trump’s remarks, Moreno blasted his opponents as he called for deporting all undocumented immigrants and eliminating the Department of Education. Other speakers, including Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, cast Moreno as an ally of the former president who will advocate for his interests in Washington.

CNN also commented on Trump’s reason for rallying in Ohio:

Donald Trump would normally have little reason to be at a rally in Ohio – a state the presumptive Republican nominee twice carried comfortably – eight months before the November election.

But the former president’s endorsement, the most coveted in a GOP primary, hasn’t yet sealed the deal for businessman Bernie Moreno, who’s locked in a three-way primary that will be this year’s first test of Trump’s cachet in a contested Senate race.

Tuesday’s winner will take on Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown – one of two Democrats running for reelection in Trump states whose fates are crucial to Senate control this fall.

Democrats are carefully eyeing the high-stakes Republican primary, with an outside group running ads that boost Moreno over state Sen. Matt Dolan and Secretary of State Frank LaRose. Their spending suggests they see Moreno as the preferred candidate to go toe-to-toe with Brown in a state that’s been trending red. The state went for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 before swinging to Trump four years later.

Though Trump is set to appear at a Saturday rally hosted by a super PAC supporting Moreno, national Republicans – who have endorsed in primaries in many of their other targeted seats this cycle – have stayed out of this race, believing that any of the three men can defeat Brown.
