Barack Obama Rallies Democrats in OH but His Stand-Up Comedy Schtick Falls Flat
2026-10-25
[RedState] The Democrats seem to be going all out in the final weeks of the 2026 midterms, especially in the state of Ohio. One rally in Cleveland on Saturday featured none other than former President Barack Obama, who is stumping for two Democrats: Amy Acton for governor and Sherrod Brown for senator.

First, he tried to use Governor Mike DeWine, who is sort of still a Republican, and his criticism of Republican U.S. Senate nominee Vivek Ramaswamy's recent brutal campaign ad about Acton. The Left and its media pals have tried to push the idea that this ad is "controversial" and a big "misstep" by Vivek.

As my colleague Teri Christoph recently wrote, there's nothing wrong with it. The ad featured Acton's mother, Donna Arthur, warning Ohio voters not to trust Amy Acton, since she had a habit of lying, whether about Ramaswamy in her ads or about her own background, to gain power. Take a look below, if you missed it.
