Obama rallies in Cleveland for Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown

politicsOct 24, 2026343,132

Former president Barack Obama campaigned in Cleveland Public Auditorium on Saturday for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton and U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, marking his first visit to Ohio since 2018. Sherrod Brown introduced Obama to a large, roaring crowd; thousands reportedly lined up to see the event, where Acton and Brown also spoke before Obama took the stage. Obama used the speech to attack Donald Trump’s presidency and to denounce the controversial Vivek Ramaswamy advertisement that features Acton’s estranged mother, urging voters not to be distracted by personal attacks. Speaking directly to the crowd, Obama urged people to vote rather than boo, saying “they can’t hear your boos, but they can hear your vote.” The rally was timed with early voting already underway and is intended to boost turnout for Acton and Brown as Ohio approaches the November 3 midterm elections.

Obama: Jon Husted is the same guy who pushed so hard for data centers, he's been called a 'data center's best friend.' Now, I don't know if that's a title I'd want. You know who hasn't been called that? Sherrod Brown.

You might want to turn on the sound for this one... Senator Husted will get his campaign donations, and the data centers get the tax cut, and your property values will be cut to nothing.

Amy Acton: As a young child, my brother and I experienced a lot of child abuse and neglect. Now my opponent has chosen to exploit my childhood to save his struggling campaign. It's not going to work.

“Y’all must not’ve been to my rallies before.” Oh, we know this one. 😂 Obama in Cleveland for Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown, bringing back a classic: “They can’t hear your boos, but they can hear your vote.” Listen to the man! Don’t boo! Vote! #BlueWaveIn10Days

Even Obama was still better on trans rights during his time in office than many democratic candidates running for office like Acton are.

• Fox News Poll (Oct. 21): Sherrod Brown > Jon Husted 52%/47% • Cook Political Report Poll (Oct. 21): Brown > Husted 49%/43%. • Marist College Poll (Oct. 20): Brown > Husted 48%/44%. Betting markets have Brown way up atm, but that's crackhead politics. Point is, def no Trump bump for Iron-Ass.

President Obama was on fire for Sherrod Brown and Dr. Acton—Ohio we’ve got this by getting out and voting blue—12 blue votes from our family are in the ballot box—vote early in person!!
