President Donald Trump said Saturday during a Kentucky rally that $100 million would be invested in a drug manufacturing facility in Winchester, Ky., if Republicans win the midterm elections.
The pledge came as Trump campaigned ahead of November’s midterms, with Fox News reporting a stop in Kansas planned as part of the same campaign push. Fox News correspondent Rebecca Kester separately reported on the rally remarks.
“If the Republicans win, the Department of War [sic] will be investing $100 million in the pharmaceutical company Anthea [sic] to revitalize a gigantic drug manufacturing facility in Winchester,” Trump said in rally audio aired on the broadcast.
A Fox News correspondent reported that Kentucky Democrats “hope to retake both the House and the Senate” in the state legislature.
No additional details on the proposed investment, including its funding source or a timeline, were provided on the broadcast. The Kentucky and Kansas stops are part of Trump’s broader midterm campaign schedule.
