Trump attacks Rep. Ilhan Omar and Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed at Ohio rally

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 12 October 2026 and 13 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The crowd chanted “deport” at several points as Trump denigrated Omar, who was born in Somalia and immigrated to the U.S., and El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as Trump appearing at a midterm rally in Ohio, with The Hill adding that Republicans are fighting to defend two key seats in an unexpected battleground state. The Hill alone mentions that he is expected to campaign alongside Sen. Jon Husted and references Vice President Vance having rallied voters there days earlier. PBS NewsHour’s headline is narrower, simply identifying the event as a live speech in Youngstown, Ohio.
