President Donald Trump issued a dire warning at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio on Monday about what he believes could happen if Democrats win both the House and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections. According to HuffPost, Trump claimed that Democratic victories would result in him becoming 'the last Republican president.'

The incident occurred as Trump was criticizing Ohio Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown.

The president's remarks were met with criticism from his opponents, who mocked his warnings as threats. The incident involving the protester was widely reported, with video footage showing the altercation and Trump's subsequent comments mocking the protester's weight. According to Fox News, Trump accused the protester of being paid to interrupt the rally but offered no evidence to support this claim.
