Moreno Gets The Nod

GOP Senate candidate, Bernie Moreno has landed Donald Trump’s endorsement in the race for a 2024 contender to unseat third-term Democrat Sherrod Brown, one of his party’s most vulnerable incumbents. The former president and 2024 presidential candidate backed Moreno, a wealthy Cleveland businessman, in a post on his social media network, Truth Social. The endorsement stands to elevate Moreno against his two Republican rivals: Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan, whose family owns the Cleveland Guardians baseball team. In the 2016 and 2020 presidential races, Trump twice won Ohio by wide margins, and he retains a strong following in the state. As in 2022, when he backed venture capitalist, JD Vance, Trump’s pick for Senate is a former critic of the man. Moreno supported Marco Rubio for president in the 2016 Republican primary, and once tweeted that listening to Trump was “like watching a car accident that makes you sick.
