MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) - Vice President Mike Pence says the caravan of Central Americans walking toward the U.S. southern border “is an assault on our country” during a campaign appearance for Ohio Republican candidates.

The Blade reports Pence was accompanied by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, for a rally attended by several hundred people Wednesday inside a hangar at an airport in Mansfield.

Pence was joined on stage by Republican gubernatorial candidate Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Jim Renacci (reh-NAY’-see), Rep. Bob Gibbs and Rep. Troy Balderson.

DeWine is in a close race with Democrat Richard Cordray. Balderson is also in a tight race with Democrat Danny O’Connor, who narrowly lost to Balderson in an August special election.
