- President Donald Trump has suggested journalists from The New York Times and other media outlets should be arrested over their coverage of crowd sizes at his campaign rally in Ohio.
- The controversy followed a report by The New York Times stating that several upper-deck sections were empty towards the end of the event at Butler High School in Vandalia.
- Trump rejected the coverage on Truth Social, claiming the venue was maxed out and that empty upper seats were the result of attendees migrating down to the main floor.
- He accused media outlets of dishonesty and disservice to the country, asserting that thousands of supporters were turned away from the venue.
- The campaign rally was held in support of Republican candidate Jon Husted in his Senate race against former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown.
