Former President Donald Trump returned to a key battleground state on the night before the midterm elections, supposedly to support Ohio U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance. But Vance appeared only briefly at the Monday night rally in Dayton, with Trump using the event to tease the possible or likely announcement of his 2024 presidential campaign.
There was some pre-game speculation that Trump would actually declare his 2024 presidential bid at the Dayton rally, but it didn't happen — and not until wasn't the end of his lengthy speech that he announce, reality TV-style, that he would make a "very big announcement" on Nov. 15 at Mar-a-Lago.
