Trump to travel to Ohio to stump for Sen. Jon Husted as the Republican faces competitive challenge

VANDALIA, Ohio (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to visit Ohio on Saturday in support of Sen. Jon Husted as the Republican tries to fend off a competitive challenge from Democratic former Sen. Sherrod Brown.

The trip to Vandalia, just north of Dayton, is scheduled to come after stops in Oklahoma on Thursday and Alabama on Friday. The Ohio race is seen as vital to determining control of the Senate.

Trump had earlier vowed to campaign in 35 of the most competitive battleground races in the final sprint to November’s midterm elections.

Brown is attempting a comeback two years after losing his Senate seat to Republican Bernie Moreno. Husted is a veteran of Republican politics in Ohio, having served as a state lawmaker, House speaker, secretary of state and lieutenant governor before being tapped to fill the Senate seat vacated by JD Vance when he became vice president.

Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou recently told The Associated Press that he hoped Trump would visit his state, where he won in 2024 by 11 percentage points.

“We definitely want him here,” Triantafilou said. “He’s a turnout driver for us.”

Dexcom releases 2026 edition of its State of Type 2 Report

This year’s report provides valuable insight into how attitudes and experiences related to Type 2 diabetes and technology have evolved over the past year. Dexcom surveyed more than 800 healthcare professionals and 2,500 people with Type 2 diabetes across eight countries, including Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The new 2026 data highlights an urgent opportunity for people with Type 2 diabetes: closing the gap between CGM's proven, transformative impact and the millions with Type 2 who lack awareness or access to this solution. Key takeaways from the 2026 report released today include:

New partnership underscores Dexcom’s commitment to the Type 1 diabetes community

Further demonstrating its commitment to the Type 1 diabetes community and leadership in CGM, Dexcom announced a new partnership with Team Novo Nordisk, the world’s only all-diabetes professional cycling team, to become the official continuous glucose monitoring partner.

“Our mission is to inspire, educate, and empower everyone affected by diabetes, which aligns with Dexcom’s goal to advance education and awareness around glucose insights,” said Phil Southerland, CEO and Co-Founder of Team Novo Nordisk. “Every rider on our team lives with Type 1 diabetes, and we race all over the globe in the most challenging conditions. It's about as demanding as real-world use gets. For a kid watching a professional athlete manage Type 1 diabetes with the same sensor they wear at home, that visibility and representation matter more than anything we could tell them.”

The partnership will create new opportunities to advance real-world research, education and awareness of the role glucose insights can play in supporting people with Type 1 diabetes.

“I have raced for this team since 2012, and in that time the technology has changed more than the bikes have. When I started, checking my glucose told me where I already was. Now I can see where I'm heading and make a decision before it becomes a problem,” said David Lozano, professional cyclist with Team Novo Nordisk. “I look at that data during and after every ride, the same way I look at my power files. It's an integral part of how I train, not something separate from it.”

This partnership reflects Dexcom’s continued commitment to supporting the Type 1 diabetes community beyond CGM technology by helping expand awareness, resources and education.
