Former president returns to campaign trail

The former U.S. president returned to the campaign trail on Saturday with a meeting in Ohio to support Democratic candidates in the midterm elections.

Cast ballot early in Florida

According to one report, the American president cast his ballot early for the midterm elections at a polling station in Palm Beach, Florida, stating, "Everything is fine."

Criticism of current administration

The former president delivered a sharp criticism of Donald Trump during a rally in Ohio, calling out his successor's administration for "two years of chaos, cruelty, corruption, and incompetence unseen in modern times."

Urges voters for change

He urged voters to "say: 'That's enough. We vote for change here in Ohio," during an event in Cleveland. The 65-year-old Democrat claimed the current president's government is directly responsible for the rising cost of living.

Blames current president for war

The former president stated, "The current president chose to make a series of bad decisions. Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war, which no one asked for."

Encourages early voting

The former president also encouraged voters to participate in early voting, noting that it is already open in Ohio. He maintains a certain popularity among the Democratic base, which he uses to support his party's candidates for upcoming decisive elections.

Key races in Ohio

In Ohio, former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown will attempt to make a comeback against outgoing Republican Senator Jon Husted, while the governor's post will be contested between Democrat Amy Acton and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, former candidate in the 2024 Republican primaries.

Polls show close races

Polls give Democrats a slight lead in these two elections, but the results are expected to be close.
