Bernie Moreno won the tightly contested Republican primary for an Ohio US Senate seat.

With former President Donald Trump’s endorsement, Moreno defeated State Senator Matt Dolan and Secretary of State Frank LaRose.

The seat is seen as a likely Republican pickup in November.

“I’m the only one in this race that’s cut taxes and reduced regulations. Who else has done that? Donald Trump,” Dolan said. “Everyone wants to talk about Donald Trump’s endorsement. I’m the only one who’s actually done Donald Trump policies because it helps Ohio.”

Dolan had the backing of Ohio’s Republican establishment but distanced himself from Trump’s character, though supporting his policies.

“His personality? It’s not me. His political style? It’s not me,” he said regarding Trump. “But his policies that make your life better, make America stronger, make Ohio stronger — that is me.”

Moreno fully embraced both Trump and his policies. Moreno also overcame a hit piece claiming without evidence he created an adult dating profile, which the outlet later admitted had no proof.

“I am so sick of Republicans that will say ‘I support President Trump’s policies, but I don’t like the man,’” Moreno said. “This is a good man. This is a great American. This man wakes up every day fighting for us, fighting for this country. He loves this country like no other leader in this nation has ever loved this country.”

Moreno will now take on incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown in November, as Republicans see pickup opportunities in Ohio and other states to potentially take control of the Senate.
