Trump-Backed Bernie Moreno Emerges as Leading GOP Candidate for Ohio Senate

Despite Controversies and Criticisms, Moreno's Outsider Stance and High-Profile Endorsements Bolster His Campaign

Bernie Moreno, a businessman and staunch Trump ally, is emerging as the leading candidate for the Republican nomination for the Ohio Senate seat.
Moreno, who has never served as a public official, presents himself as a political outsider, a stance that has garnered him endorsements from former President Donald Trump and other high-profile Republicans.
Moreno's campaign is not without controversy, with critics pointing to his changing positions on key issues like immigration and gun control, and legal issues related to his business.
Despite these controversies, Moreno's endorsement from Trump could be a significant factor in the primary, as Trump's endorsement has often determined the eventual winner in contested GOP primaries.
Moreno's main rivals for the nomination are Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan.
