Barack Obama mocked Donald Trump's White House renovations at a Saturday campaign rally in Ohio, declaring, 'He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.' The former president was campaigning for Democrats ahead of the autumn midterm elections.
His visit to the near-capacity Public Auditorium supported Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for governor, and former senator Sherrod Brown, who is seeking to regain his Senate seat. According to the supplied NBC News report, polls placed both races as toss-ups in a state that has become more reliably Republican since Trump's political rise.
