Trump-Endorsed Bernie Moreno Wins Ohio Senate Primary

With 39% of the vote counted in the Buckeye State, Moreno stands at 48.5%, with state Sen. Matt Dolan at 33.2% and Sec. of State Frank LaRose at a distant third with 18.2%.

Earlier in the evening, Moreno and Dolan were neck and neck. As more votes were counted, Moreno pulled ahead and dominated the race.

Moreno will now face Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown, who has been in the Senate for 17 years and has proven impervious to Republican challenges for his seat, even though Ohio is a solidly red state. Republicans have held all statewide offices and both chambers of the legislature for several election cycles, yet Brown still remains the senior senator from Ohio.
