Former President Donald Trump is set to visit Ohio to show his support for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno ahead of the March 19 primary. The rally, which will take place at Wright Bros Aero near Dayton, is expected to draw a significant crowd as Trump aims to boost Moreno's campaign.
Trump's endorsement of Moreno over his two rivals, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan, has added an interesting dynamic to the GOP primary race. Governor Mike DeWine recently endorsed Dolan, further highlighting the competitive nature of the contest.
The winner of the Republican primary will go on to face Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown in the upcoming fall election. Brown, a third-term senator, is considered one of the more vulnerable Senate Democrats this year, making the race even more crucial for both parties.
Trump's endorsement has proven to be influential in past elections, as seen with author and venture capitalist JD Vance's success in the previous cycle. Vance, along with U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, has also thrown his support behind Moreno, adding to the momentum of his campaign.
