A new TV ad featuring former President Donald Trump has been released in support of Ohio Republican Senate nominee Bernie Moreno. The ad, funded by a super PAC backing Moreno, began airing on Friday and showcases Trump directly addressing Moreno's opponent, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
In the ad, Trump accuses Brown of pretending to be his friend while criticizing his political record. Trump labels Brown as a 'radical left politician' who has allegedly sold out the American people during his 50-year political career. Trump asserts that Brown only aligns with Trump's policies temporarily to gain favor before elections.
Key issues highlighted in the ad include immigration and border security, which are significant concerns for conservative voters. Trump concludes by denouncing Brown as a 'disaster' who does not support Trump's policies or the 'Make America Great Again' agenda.
The TV ad is part of the intense campaign for the 2024 Senate race in Ohio, which has become the most expensive congressional election on record. Brown's efforts to appeal to crossover voters in a state that previously supported Trump have been a focal point of his campaign.
On the other hand, Brown's campaign has emphasized his willingness to challenge presidents, including those from his own party, if their actions are detrimental to Ohio. A top TV ad from Brown's campaign highlights his commitment to standing up for his state's interests.
The clash between Trump's endorsement of Moreno and Brown's bipartisan approach underscores the political dynamics at play in Ohio's Senate race. As the campaign intensifies, both candidates are leveraging their respective records and endorsements to sway voters ahead of the election.
