Former President Donald Trump campaigned for Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno in Ohio, sparking controversy.

Trump's speech included a warning of a 'bloodbath' if he lost to Joe Biden, along with false accusations about the election process.

He insinuated dictatorial aspirations and suggested Russia should target NATO countries.

Trump's endorsement of Moreno was seen as a snub to Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who had sought his support.

The rally featured other prominent Republicans like Sen. JD Vance and Gov. Kristi Noem, hinting at possible vice-presidential ambitions.

The event underscored the persistent political strife stemming from the disputed 2020 election and the January 6th Capitol riot.
