Trump in Vandalia, Ohio: FOX 29 posts the full midterm rally

The uncut speech from Ohio drew a comment section far busier than anything the Philadelphia station's regular videos usually see, filled with talk of turnout, the packed venue and the walk-on music.

FULL: President Trump rallies in battleground Ohio ahead of midterms

"FULL: President Trump rallies in battleground Ohio ahead of midterms" is exactly what the title says: the whole event, unedited, posted by FOX 29 Philadelphia. The description places it in Vandalia, a suburb just north of Dayton, where President Trump appeared alongside Republican candidates. It is tagged as raw video, with no anchor and no package around it.

That makes it an unusual upload for this channel. FOX 29 serves Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, and its regular videos are local stories that usually open with a few thousand views. This one, from a state away, passed 100,000 in a little over a day.

The comment section moved faster still, dozens of times busier than a usual first day. Much of it is about the midterms themselves: viewers saying how they plan to vote, others remarking on how full the venue looked, and a few singling out the music played at the event. Some write about the president's age, and several send prayers for his safety.

Around it, the channel's day stayed close to home. FOX 29 also posted the start of a two-week police and FBI search of a home on Chew Avenue in Olney, a forecast of sunny skies after a rainy day, and Eagles fans trying out new tailgating rules at Lincoln Financial Field.

The numbers

The Ohio rally drew far more viewers than a regular FOX 29 video, on a day when the channel as a whole ran a little below its usual pace.
