COLUMBUS, Ohio — Vice President Mike Pence plans to rally at Nickolas Savko & Sons in Columbus Monday—the second stop he's made in Ohio within a month. 


What You Need To Know

  • Pence will hold a "Make America Great Again" rally at Nickolas and Savko & Sons in Columbus Monday

  • The event starts at 12:30 p.m. and participants must sign a waiver saying the campaign isn't responsible if they contract COVID-19

  • Biden will make campaign stops in Toledo and Cincinnati

The event at the concrete contracting company begins at 12:30 p.m. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m., and registration is required. Participants will also have to sign a waiver saying the campaign is not responsible if anyone contracts COVID-19. 

The "Make America Great Again" event will have a heavy focus on the economy and manufacturing, according to the Trump campaign, which are two topics the administration has consistently covered on visits to Ohio. 

Pence last visited the state Sept. 16 for a rally in Zanesville where he said Trump kept his promise to Ohioans that he would save their jobs. 

“This president fought for jobs here, and he fought for college football," Pence said, in reference to the Big Ten reversing its decision to have a season after all. 

President Donald Trump has also made quite a few stops in the Buckeye State recently. The latest was in Cleveland for the first presidential debate, which was just days before he announced he contracted COVID-19.

On Sept. 21, Trump held two rallies—one in Scranton and another in Vandalia, which garnered a crowd of 1,200 people. 

Meanwhile, Democratic Presidential Nominiee Joe Biden will also be visiting the Buckeye State, with two campaign stops on Monday. The former vice president will make a campaign speech in Toledo in the afternoon and will later attend a voter mobilization event in Cincinnati.

Biden's campaign announced Friday there will be five new advertisements running in Ohio with a focus on military families and veterans. The annoucement came as polls show a tight race between the two candidates. A final Great Lakes Poll shows Ohio's a toss-up. According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden holds a 1 percent lead over Trump as of Oct. 7, but that could change soon; the candidates have had no more than a 3 percent lead over the other in Ohio since April.
