Republican businessman Bernie Moreno won the Ohio Senate primary Tuesday evening. Moreno is a pro-life business who captured a majority of the vote against state Sen. Matt Dolan and Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
Moreno will face vulnerable pro-abortion Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November for what will likely be one of the biggest battles of the 2024 campaign. Brown is a radical abortion activist with a 100$ pro-abortion voting record.
“I am so grateful for the resounding support of Ohioans in all 88 counties,” Moreno said in a statement. “I thank Matt Dolan and Frank LaRose for a spirited primary contest. I look forward to uniting our party and working to send Sherrod Brown packing in November!”
LaRose has already endorsed Moreno.
“I’m honored and humbled by the thousands of Ohioans who stood with me in this campaign. While this is not my time to serve as our party’s nominee for the United States Senate, I’m profoundly grateful for those who gave me their support,” LaRose said in a statement. “Now is the time to stand together as a party. Moments ago, I called to congratulate Bernie Moreno and wish him well. We all share the same mission to retire Sherrod Brown and restore Ohio’s voice and values to the United States Senate. The stakes for this election couldn’t be higher.”
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance had endorsed Moreno along with former President Donald Trump.
