Former President Donald Trump endorsed Ohio businessman Bernie Moreno for U.S. Senate on Tuesday.
“Bernie Moreno, a highly respected businessman from the GREAT State of Ohio, is exactly the type of MAGA fighter that we need in the United States Senate,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “Bernie will always stand up to the Fascist “nut jobs” and the spineless RINOS in order to fight the corrupt Deep State that is destroying our Country. Remember, we need a successful political outsider like Bernie to defeat Liberal career politician, Sherrod Brown, who has so poorly represented Ohio, and pretends that he’s all for the Policies of your Favorite President, Donald J. Trump, but then gets to the Senate and votes 100% for the horrendous Policies of Crooked Joe Biden, the worst President in the History of our Country.”
I am honored and thankful to have the endorsement of @realDonaldTrump for United States Senate from the Great State of Ohio.

“Don’t be fooled by Sherrod Brown. He is a Radical Left Liberal who will always let you down. He does not stand for Ohio Values, and never will. Bernie Moreno, on the other hand, will ALWAYS put America First,” Trump added.
The former president also called on the Republican Party to “unite” around Moreno’s campaign so the GOP “can have a BIG victory in what will be the most important Election in American History.”
Moreno (pictured above) has also been endorsed by the Clermont County Republican Party, Butler County Republican Party, and Delaware County Republican Party in recent weeks.
A new poll published by SurveyUSA last week shows Moreno in third place in the Ohio Senate Republican Primary behind challengers State Senator Matt Dolan (R-Chagrin Falls) and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
Moreno trails LaRose by 21 points (33 percent-12 percent) and Dolan by six points (18 percent-12 percent), according to the poll.
SurveyUSA, however, notes that “any outcome remains possible” as 35 percent of voters remain undecided.
