Abortion Debate Intensifies in Ohio's Costly Senate Race

Republican Bernie Moreno's comments spark controversy, shifting focus away from economic issues.

Bernie Moreno's remarks on abortion rights have become a focal point in Ohio's Senate race, drawing criticism from both Democrats and fellow Republicans.
Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown capitalizes on the controversy, emphasizing reproductive rights in his campaign for a fourth term.
The race has become the most expensive Senate contest this year, with ad spending surpassing $400 million as Republicans outspend Democrats.
Moreno, endorsed by Donald Trump, remains undeterred by the backlash, arguing that women voters are concerned with a range of issues beyond abortion.
The outcome of the Ohio Senate race is critical, as a Republican win could jeopardize the Democrats' narrow majority in the Senate.
