Trump-Backed MAGA Republican Bernie Moreno Wins Ohio Senate Primary

2024-03-21 69

Trump-backed MAGA Republican Bernie Moreno, backed by former President Donald Trump, defeated two challengers to win the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Ohio. Moreno will now face incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in the November general election. Moreno embraces Trump's lies about the 2020 election and has taken hardline stances on abortion and immigration. Democrats believe Moreno is a less electable candidate than other Republicans in the primary, though the general election is a toss-up.
