Several states held midterms Tuesday. The special election in Ohio’s 12th District was too close to call hours after the polls closed. The president has stumped on Twitter for Troy Balderson.

Ohio, vote today for Troy Balderson for Congress. His opponent, controlled by Nancy Pelosi, is weak on Crime, the Border, Military, Vets, your 2nd Amendment – and will end your Tax Cuts. Troy will be a great Congressman. #MAGA
