Trump announced that Bayer is establishing a new 2.2 billion dollar pharmaceutical manufacturing campus near Columbus, Ohio, an investment he credits to his pharmaceutical tariffs. He stated this project will create thousands of jobs and contribute to lower drug prices, while asserting that his policies have driven over 600 billion dollars in new pharmaceutical investments. Additionally, he shared a video featuring Roger Stone, who characterized him as “the Greatest Campaigner in the History of the Republican Party.”
Regarding the Senate, Trump urged Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton to stop blocking “The Sunshine Protection Act,” legislation that would end the practice of changing clocks twice a year. Trump argued that passing the bill would be a significant bipartisan win for the Republican Party, noting that the House has already approved it. He further remarked that current time changes are “depressing” and potentially dangerous in “Crime Ridden Blue States” where walking home in the dark poses safety risks. In other political matters, Trump endorsed Dan S. Sullivan for re-election to the U.S. Senate from Alaska, endorsed Nick Begich for re-election to the U.S. House from Alaska, and endorsed Greg Cunningham for the U.S. House in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District.
Focusing on the 2026 Midterm Elections, Trump promised that if Republicans win control of both the House and the Senate, he will provide 5,000 dollars to every adult citizen in the United States. He encouraged Republican voters to use all available methods—including early, absentee, mail-in, and in-person voting—to “swamp” the “Radical Left Dumocrats” with high turnout. Finally, he reminded voters in Pennsylvania that early voting is underway and urged them to vote for Republican candidates.
