Today, President Donald J. Trump returns to the Buckeye State for the Patriot Games finals — celebrating 250 years of American independence by honoring the excellence, grit, and competitive spirit of America’s youth.
As he visits Ohio, one thing is undeniable: under President Trump and Republican leadership, Ohio is thriving. Since returning to office, President Trump has delivered historic tax relief, driven down crime, unleashed American energy, and attracted massive private investment — putting Ohio families, workers, seniors, and communities first.
Historic Tax Relief for Ohioans
President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts are putting real money back in the pockets of hardworking Ohioans.
- No Tax on Overtime: More than 1.2 million Ohio workers claimed $3.4 billion in No Tax on Overtime deductions.
- No Tax on Social Security: More than 1.4 million Ohio seniors paid zero federal taxes on their benefits.
- Bigger Refunds: Ohio’s average tax refund reached $3,308.
- Investments in Rural Health: Ohio secured more than $200 million in first-year funding under the Working Families Tax Cuts’ Rural Health Transformation Program.
- Protecting Ohio’s Economy: The Working Families Tax Cuts protected 208,000 Ohio jobs, preserved $37 billion in state GDP, and safeguarded $19 billion in wages for Ohioans.
Safer Communities
Violent crime is falling across Ohio as President Trump’s law and order agenda takes hold.
- Statewide homicides dropped 16.1% last year.
- In Columbus, homicides hit a 16-year low in 2025 and have continued to decline in 2026
- In Cincinnati, homicides fell more than 6% in 2025 and dropped another 19% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year.
- In Cleveland, homicides fell 16%, rapes fell 28%, auto theft fell 26%, and robberies fell 24% in 2025. In the first half of 2026, rapes declined another 8% and robberies another 21%.
Billions in New Private Investment
President Trump’s America First economic agenda is delivering major private-sector wins for Ohio.
- Aerospace manufacturer Electra announced an $850 million investment in Springfield, creating 1,975 new jobs.
- Swiss paper manufacturer Weidmann announced a $150 million investment in Middletown, creating dozens of new full-time jobs.

Advancing Energy Dominance
- The Trump Administration has formed a public-private partnership with SoftBank Group and SB Energy to build 10 gigawatts of new power generation in southern Ohio, ensuring corporations — not Ohio families — will bear the cost of supporting data center growth. As part of the deal, SB Energy is providing $40 million in community benefits.
President Trump and Republicans are delivering concrete results for Ohio families, workers, seniors, and communities — proving once again that America First means Ohio First.
