Trump’s Remarks on Husted’s Physique Draw Attention to Ohio Senate Race
PN Team • 2 weeks ago
President Trump has repeatedly praised Sen. Jon Husted's (R-Ohio) physique at campaign rallies, drawing attention to the closely watched Ohio Senate race. Trump made detailed remarks about Husted's build during stops in Youngstown and Greenville, North Carolina, prompting Husted to respond lightheartedly, saying the comments motivated him to keep up his gym routine. Husted, a former University of Dayton football player, credited his athletic family background.
The exchange has added an unusual media moment to a race seen as pivotal for Senate control, with Husted facing Democratic former Sen. Sherrod Brown. Polling has shown Brown with a narrow lead over Husted in the contest.
