Former President Donald Trump made a significant appearance in Ohio recently, where he campaigned for Senate candidate Bernie Moreno ahead of the upcoming GOP primary. At a rally, Trump praised Moreno as an “America first champion” and warned of a potential “bloodbath” if he loses the election in November.
Moreno, who is facing Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan in the primary, received a strong endorsement from Trump, who criticized those in his party who have been critical of him. Trump also dismissed recent allegations against Moreno, accusing President Joe Biden of threatening Social Security and criticizing his handling of the border and migrant crisis.
The rally saw Trump joined by Ohio Sen. JD Vance and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, solidifying his support for Moreno and dealing a blow to LaRose, who had been working to win Trump’s favor. The winner of the primary will go on to face third-term Sen. Sherrod Brown in November, seen as one of the nation’s most vulnerable Democrats.
Despite Ohio shifting to the right in recent years, Brown has managed to hold onto his seat. Trump’s endorsement of Moreno adds a new dynamic to the Senate race in Ohio, with the former president playing a key role in shaping the outcome of the primary and potentially influencing the November election.
