The candidate who garnered the former president’s endorsement for Ohio’s next senator won the state’s GOP primary on Tuesday.
Donald Trump’s choice for the Republican Senate primary race in Ohio was victorious on Tuesday, marking another win for the former president in the Buckeye State.
Bernie Moreno, a Cleveland businessman and political newcomer, beat out GOP state Senator Matt Dolan and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, advancing to face incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, in November.
Moreno had earned endorsements from several political heads aligned with Trump’s Make American Great Again (MAGA) movement, including Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, who in 2022 rode Trump’s endorsement to the U.S. Senate as a political outsider. Dolan, Moreno’s top competitor, was backed by several established Republicans in the state, including Governor Mike DeWine and former Senator Rob Portman.
„I’m so grateful for the resounding support of Ohioans in all 88 counties,“ Moreno wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday evening.
