Ohio U.S. Senate Primary Election Results
Three Republicans are duking it out for their party’s nomination against Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat who is running for re-election in an increasingly conservative state. Bernie Moreno, a wealthy former car dealer who has never held elected office, has the endorsement of former President Donald J. Trump. But he faces two more experienced opponents: Secretary of State Frank LaRose and State Senator Matt Dolan, who is backed by Ohio’s sitting governor.
