President Donald Trump spoke to supporters in Chillicothe, Ohio, on Wednesday while former President Barack Obama appeared the same night with Georgia Democrats in suburban Atlanta, according to an Associated Press report carried by 13 ABC¹.

The AP said both parties were tightening their closing messages ahead of next week's midterm elections¹.

Trump, speaking south of Columbus, urged people to vote and said a large Republican win was possible if they did, the report said¹. The AP said he has been concentrating on states he won two years ago even as fuel prices, living costs and the war in Iran remain voter concerns¹.

Obama appeared with former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democratic candidate for governor, and Sen. Jon Ossoff, who is seeking reelection, the AP reported¹. Obama told the crowd that a sense of change was widespread, according to the dispatch¹.

Trump also commented on Alaska's Senate race involving Democrat Mary Peltola and on Ohio Sen. Jon Husted's contest against former Sen. Sherrod Brown, the AP said¹. Obama answered criticism of an earlier White House-renovation joke by saying Republicans were not focused on governing problems, the report added¹.
