In the early moments of Thursday’s rally, Trump declared, “I don’t want to be controversial.” He mostly stuck to it. Heightening the drama, Trump’s Ohio rally took place against a backdrop of simmering racial tension in the host city of Cincinnati. Robyn McGrail, 64, and her husband were celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary by attending their third Trump rally. About half of Ohio voters, 49%, expressed approval of Trump’s job as president, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of the electorate in 2018. Several protests took place around the Trump rally, including one at the nearby National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
