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.
• Automaker Stellantis announced a $400 million investment in its Toledo Assembly Complex, creating over 900 jobs.
• Corrugated packaging company Pratt Industries announced a $5 billion U.S. investment, with significant expansion targeted for Ohio.
• Property developer DAMAC announced a $20 billion U.S. investment, with Ohio positioned for projects. 

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.

Large flakes of hot-smoked salmon lend big, bold flavor and protein to this easygoing no-cook salad. Not to be confused with the thin slices of silky cold smoked salmon you pile onto your bagel, hot smoked fillets are as tender and meaty as those you roast or grill yourself, minus the need to cook them. Just pour boiling water over the couscous to hydrate it before tossing it with the rich salmon, crunchy cucumbers, quick-pickled red onion and peppery arugula. Any leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple of days.

Garlicky pesto lends big flavor to this creamy tuna salad while keeping the ingredients to a minimum. And while most tuna salads rely on mayo, this one calls upon tangy Greek yogurt, which also helps double down on the protein. A big squeeze of lemon juice ties it together while a handful of diced shallot delivers crunch. It's as quick as it is versatile: Tuck it inside a sandwich or wrap, spoon it on top of salad greens, scoop it up with crackers or crostini or serve it alongside juicy tomato slices.

A canonical coastal New England comfort food, "stuffies" are large clamshells packed with briny chopped quahog clams, smoky sausage, dried bread and aromatics, all baked until golden. Though a close cousin of clams casino and clams oreganata, this shoreline treat reflects influences unique to the region stretching from Cape Cod south to Rhode Island -- including a "make do" spirit of Yankee thrift and ingredients introduced by local Portuguese immigrants. Though the outlines of stuffie recipes are fairly standard, they offer endless opportunities for riffing. Can't find fresh quahogs? Ask your fishmonger for chopped sea clams. Avoiding bread? Substitute crushed gluten-free crackers. Have a link of leftover kielbasa kicking around? Swap that in for linguiça. As Mac Hay, founder of Mac's Seafood in Wellfleet, Mass., says, "Stuffies are kind of like grandma's Sunday gravy. Everyone's got their own angle." Share them with friends and family, preferably with a generous supply of cold beer or wine close at hand.
