Trump-backed Bernie Moreno wins Ohio GOP Senate primary
Story by Jared Gans

Trump-backed candidate Bernie Moreno will win the Republican nomination for Senate in Ohio to face off against incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) this November, Decision Desk HQ has projected.
Moreno, a former car dealership owner and the father-in-law of Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), defeated state Sen. Matt Dolan (R) and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) in a messy primary that intensified in the closing days of the campaign.
Moreno had built up a significant advantage over his opponents in endorsements, gathering support from former President Trump as well as influential Ohio politicians Sen. J.D. Vance (R) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R).
Moreno and Dolan, both of whom were unsuccessful candidates for Senate in Ohio in 2022, also had a significant fundraising advantage over LaRose, with both of them being able to pour millions of dollars into their campaigns through self-funding.

I guess when Moreno loses MAGA will claim it was stolen.

The democrats spent $2.7 million helping Moreno. They know something about him beyond his position on social issues, and I don't think the republicans have the wherewithal to finance his campaign.
