It dose not have any chance to see in Ohio" modifies "the campaign" ?
Or we also can rewrite it to "the Ohio campaign" and there is not much difference in meaning or is there a certain way of analyzing the sentence to native English speakers? Thank you so much.

No, it is not an Ohio campaign; it is a national campaign. It makes no sense to say 'the Ohio campaign ended in Ohio'. You must use common sense as well as grammar to understand any language.

Wow!! You always enlighten me!! Before you go, I would like to get your opinions. Please help me out.

ex) Have you ever seen the tallest building in my town?
Have you ever seen the tallest building

Well, that's a poor example, because buildings do not move from town to town; therefore; the phrase must be adjectival.
