Thin on the right so far
None of the 10 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
President Donald Trump plans to visit Ohio on Saturday to campaign for Senator Jon Husted. The campaign stop is scheduled for Vandalia, a city north of Dayton. This visit follows earlier stops in Oklahoma on Thursday and Alabama on Friday.
The Ohio Senate race is considered significant for control of the Senate. Senator Husted, a Republican, is facing a challenge from former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown. Trump had previously committed to campaigning in 35 competitive battleground races before the midterm elections.
Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou expressed hope for Trump's visit, telling The Associated Press that the former president is a "turnout driver" for the party. He noted that Trump won Ohio by 11 percentage points in 2024.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Trump to visit Ohio to campaign for Senator Jon Husted?
- Of the 10 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 40% are rated left, 60% are rated centre, 0% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 13. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Trump to visit Ohio to campaign for Senator Jon Husted left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 10 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Trump to visit Ohio to campaign for Senator Jon Husted biased?
- Trump to visit Ohio to campaign for Senator Jon Husted is one event reported by 13 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting Trump to visit Ohio to campaign for Senator Jon Husted?
