On the Ground in the Final Days Before Trump’s Midterm Debacle

President Donald Trump exits the stage after speaking at a campaign rally in Chillicothe, Ohio, on Oct. 28. Mark Schiefelbein/Associated Press Jacob Hawk leaned over the plastic fencing to get Vivek Ramaswamy’s attention as the Republican candidate for Ohio governor moved down the line shaking hands at the Ohio University branch campus in Chillicothe, six days before the midterm elections. Hawk held onto Ramaswamy’s hand and started trying to tell him everything he was dealing with, everything he wanted the Republican candidates gathered there to help him with. Hawk, 39, told him that he was a self-employed landscaper who was having a hard time with the high cost of fuel.
