Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno will win the Ohio GOP Senate primary, the Associated Press projects, in a race that tested the weight of former President Trump’s endorsement.
Moreno was projected as the winner Tuesday night, beating Republican state Sen. Matt Dolan and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose in a contest many believe is a solid opportunity for Republicans to flip the seat. Moreno argued the contentious GOP primary was a battle between an outsider who would carry forward the MAGA agenda versus the establishment.
“If you want somebody who’s going to be more liberal than Mitt Romney in the United States Senate, then vote for Matt Dolan,” Moreno, endorsed by Trump in December, argued at a rally in suburban Cleveland on the eve of the primary.
Moreno defeated Dolan in a massive landslide Tuesday night. With 92% of the votes in, Moreno had 50.4% of the vote, compared to 32.8% for Dolan and just 16.8% for LaRose.
With Democrats currently in control of the Senate, 51-49, Republicans are looking for seats they can flip, and are hoping to end Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown’s 30-year career in D.C.
Brown, 71, has been in the U.S. Senate since 2007. Prior to that, he served in Congress from 1993 to 2007.
Now that Moreno, 57, has won the GOP primary, he will be in a heated race against Brown for the November election.
In a crushing blow to the “establishment,” Moreno won every single county in the Ohio GOP primary.
