Republican businessman and GOP senatorial candidate Bernie Moreno won big in his Ohio primary contest Tuesday night; Moreno was endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
“I am so grateful for the resounding support of Ohioans in all 88 counties,” Moreno said in a statement. “I thank Matt Dolan and Frank LaRose for a spirited primary contest. I look forward to uniting our party and working to send Sherrod Brown packing in November!”
From The Daily Caller:
Moreno secured 50.4% support compared to state Sen. Matt Dolan’s 32.7% and Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s 16.9%, the AP projected at the time of writing. The Trump-backed businessman will face vulnerable Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November for what will likely be one of the most competitive races of the 2024 cycle.
…
Moreno notched key endorsements from prominent Trump-aligned national Republicans, including Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, while Dolan and LaRose received most of their support from state and local leaders. Days before voters took to the polls, Dolan scored Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine’s support.
Trump also won Ohio’s Republican presidential primary on Tuesday with 79.2% support, and President Joe Biden secured his party’s nod at 87%, according to the AP.
Sen. Vance shared a congratulatory message for Moreno on X.
“I’m not a pundit, but if you take a guy who gets outspent massively, earns the most important endorsement in politics, and then radically outperforms even the most positive polls, then I’d say he’s pretty good at winning votes. Congrats to Bernie. On to November!”
