Former President Donald Trump is making a return to Ohio this weekend to rally support for businessman Bernie Moreno, the Republican Senate candidate he endorsed in the state's contentious GOP primary. Trump's visit comes just days before the state's March 19 primary, where Moreno is vying for the nomination against other major contenders, including state Sen. Matt Dolan and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
Trump's involvement in the Ohio Senate race highlights the ongoing power struggle within the Republican Party, with Dolan receiving endorsements from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and former Sen. Rob Portman, who are considered part of the state's Republican establishment. Dolan has positioned himself as a supporter of Trump's policies while distancing himself from the former president's personality.
