President Donald Trump paused his speech at a campaign rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on 3 October 2026 after a protester repeatedly called him a 'liar' and a 'rapist' and referred to E. Jean Carroll, according to footage reported by The Daily Beast. Security escorted the protester out as members of the audience booed.
Trump was speaking at Butler High School in support of Ohio Republicans, including Senator Jon Husted and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, ahead of the November midterm elections. Carroll secured civil judgments against Trump in separate trials in 2023 and 2024.
