A news account on X says Obama is campaigning in Georgia and that Trump is backing candidates in Texas and Ohio; there is no official confirmation.
Former President Barack Obama is campaigning this Wednesday, October 28, in Georgia for Democrats Jon Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms, according to a post by @TelemundoNews on X; we have not confirmed it with an official source. The same post from a news account on X adds that President Donald Trump is backing Republican candidates in close races, including Texas and Ohio.
What is being said about Obama on social media
The @TelemundoNews post says Obama is campaigning in Georgia for Ossoff and Bottoms. We could not confirm from an official source the city, time, venue or access rules for the event, or the content of a post by Obama himself, so those details remain unconfirmed.
What is being said about Trump in Texas and Ohio
The news account's post on X says Trump backs Republican candidates in the closest races, with Texas and Ohio as examples. As of publication, we have not found an official statement from the White House or a campaign committee detailing that schedule, so this point is presented as the news account reported it on social media, without official confirmation.
Why it matters to Latino voters
The news account mentions Georgia, Texas and Ohio in its election-day roundup. In campaigns like these, parties typically concentrate appearances by national figures in the final days before voting. That reading is a general description and not official information about these events.
Voting rules, including accepted forms of ID, are set by each state. The official page of USA.gov says each state sets its own requirements and that most require identification to vote in person. It also offers tools to find your polling place and check election dates.
What remains to be confirmed
As of publication, there is no official information about what Obama said during the event or about attendance. There is also no official confirmation of the Trump events in Texas and Ohio mentioned in the social media post. We will update this story if new details emerge.
What does it mean to you?
- A campaign rally does not change voting rules or election dates.
- If you live in Georgia, Texas or Ohio, confirm with your state's election office your registration, your polling place and the identification they require.
- Check voting dates and locations on USA.gov, not in social media messages.
- Be wary of messages that say you can vote by text or on a date other than the official one.
