The president ended his remarks at 8:58 pm. The pool is leaving the venue as YMCA plays and the president is still on stage.

Please double check quotes below. He also repeated his promise to give 5,000 dollars to all adult Americans if Republicans win the midterms. He was briefly interrupted by protesters.

Trump brought Sen. Jon Husted onto the stage at 8:46 pm. Husted praised Trump, and said that thousands of manufacturing jobs have been added under the president. Vivek Ramaswamy then took the stage at 8:49 pm. Ramaswamy finished speaking at 8:51 pm and Trump took the stage and resumed his speech.

During the speech, the president said Sen. Jon Husted's opponent former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown "wants open borders" and "men playing in women's sports."

On White House renovations the president said that the stone was broken, "the monuments were coming off " and that he fixed it. He said that President Obama doesn't understand and that he made the changes to the White House because it's "the number one symbol of our country."

On Iran, he said "every single ship is at the bottom of the sea" and said Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. He said the price of gas will go down when the war ends.

As the president talked about Rep. Ilhan Omar, the crowd chanted "lock her up."

The president also said that Vivek Ramaswamy was "treated very unfairly" over the ad featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton's mother.

He touted "the best crime numbers we've ever had" and "the most secure border" in history. He said "we built 2,000 miles of wall."

He said the media refuses to acknowledge his crowd sizes, prompting boos from the crowd.

He said that if Sen. Husted wins he'll consider putting the space academy in Ohio. As the president said he'd sign legislation from Husted, the crowd chanted "Husted."

He said they will name the Strait of Hormuz the "Trump Strait," as he also talked about the Gulf of America.
