Trump Urges Ohio Voters to Support Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy at Rally

Chillicothe, October 29 (Daily Kiran) : President Donald Trump rallied support for Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate for governor, during an event in Chillicothe, Ohio, on October 29, 2026. Addressing a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, Trump urged voters to choose Ramaswamy, highlighting his promises to reduce property taxes and take action against “sanctuary cities.”

With just six days remaining before the midterm elections, Trump expressed confidence in a Republican victory. He repeatedly encouraged attendees to support both Ramaswamy and other Republican congressional candidates.

According to transcripts from the rally, Trump stated, “In just six days, the people of Ohio will choose Vivek Ramaswamy as their governor.” He then invited Ramaswamy to the stage, providing him an opportunity to outline his economic and immigration policies in the final stretch of his campaign against Democrat Amy Acton.

Ramaswamy framed the election as a choice about which candidate would improve voters’ lives. He linked his state-level promises directly to Trump’s national agenda. “President Trump puts Americans first. I will put the people of Ohio first,” he declared.

He pledged to implement the largest property tax relief package in Ohio’s history if elected, although he did not provide specific figures, financial plans, or timelines during his speech. Ramaswamy also vowed to eliminate sanctuary cities in Ohio, describing it as a state-level extension of federal immigration policies. He promised to take immediate executive action on this issue upon taking office.

While both of these points were part of his campaign promises, no new tax laws or state immigration orders were announced during the speech. Trump emphasized the importance of voter turnout, urging supporters not to take victory for granted. His appeal aimed to secure Republican wins and maintain the party’s ability to advance Trump’s agenda in Washington.

The president defended Ramaswamy against media criticism, accusing journalists of unfair treatment. He targeted Acton’s previous record and political stance, while Ramaswamy criticized her handling of the state’s response to COVID-19.

In addition to supporting Ohio candidates, Trump made a bold promise: if Republicans win both the House of Representatives and the Senate, he would provide every adult citizen in the U.S. with $5,000. He referred to this payment as a “dividend,” estimating the cost at around $1 trillion. However, he did not specify a timeline or funding details for this proposal during the rally.

Trump also advocated for tariffs and domestic manufacturing, arguing that his trade policies have encouraged companies to produce goods in the U.S. His claims were intended to illustrate that a Republican victory would secure jobs and family incomes.

Ramaswamy urged his supporters to vote and expressed confidence in his party’s chances. At the event’s conclusion, Trump reiterated his call for voters to support Ramaswamy.
