President talks 'Trump Ocean,' trades jokes with Tennessee crowd as Kid Rock kicks off sprawling rally

What happened: President Donald Trump held a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, campaigning for Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty and gubernatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, with Kid Rock opening the event. Key numbers: Korea Zinc investment over $6 billion, 740 jobs, $6.6 billion project announced in December, first new mineral smelter since 1979. Why it matters: Trump promoted manufacturing investments and tariff policies as drivers of domestic investment, while urging supporters to back Republican candidates even though his name is not on the ballot.
