Trump-backed businessman Bernie Moreno cruised to a quick victory in Ohio’s Republican U.S. Senate primary thanks in part to MAGA voters’ strong showing in early and absentee voting.
The Associated Press called the three-way race for the Senate nomination just an hour after polls closed on Tuesday, marking a blowout win. However, while Moreno cleaned up with election-day voters, he was also very competitive in the early and absentee vote, where his top opponent, State Sen. Matt Dolan (R-OH), was expected to perform better.
Kye Kondik, an election analyst and the managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, posted on X shortly after the call that early and absentee votes were “basically even between Dolan and Moreno, but Moreno is winning [Election]-Day so far by like 25 points.”

Does that mean that our people have learned how to cheat? < /sarc >
The GOPe candidates go down in flames. Good.
I’ll be very surprised if Moreno can beat Brown.
I will be voting early for the first time in my voting life.
When the democrat machine gets cranked up it will also be just one of the ways that Biden might win through vote fraud.
Ohio’s voter registrations have been drastically cleaned up in the last few years, so the urban Dems have had one of their major fraud gimmicks curtailed. May make a difference. Remember that Ohio is a sea of red with a few blue islands. Even District 6, which used to be blue due to the UMW is now red, what with Obama having shut down so many mines.
Meaningless since it concerns intraparty politics.
Among Ohio GOP:
Bernie Moreno (Trump endorsed!):
553,674
Dolan and LaRose (combined), higher than expected:
542,638
- - -
Jd Vance is an Ohio senator. I think brown is quite beatable.
To quote the Bard, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” And, in memory of the Great Mayor Daley I, “It’s time to vote early and often.”
I was born in Chicago at the end of 1942 and left in June 1971, never, ever having regretted that move that finally landed me in West Knox County, Tennessee ever since July 1987.
Wrong. It shows our people are learning how to fight the DemonRats with their own weapons, although it as an intraparty primary.
It will be close because Brown is an incumbent but Dolan would have lost because many Ohio voters would have voted for Trump and split for Brown. Bernie Moreno is a populist in the mold of Vance so we have a much better chance.
“It will be close because Brown is an incumbent ... “
Incumbency is critical. Most voters just go by name recognition.
The final results were:
Bernie Moreno got 50%
Dolan got 33%
La Rose got 17%
The polling (final Emerson poll) was:
Moreno 44% - plus 7% off polling
Dolan 40% - minus 7% off polling
La Rose 16% - plus 1% off polling
I beg to differ, Moreno’s results out performed the polls while Dolan under performed.
True but to beat an incumbent, we need our best foot forward and the squishy approach that Dolan would have used would have lost like Rinacci in 2018.
“... squishy approach that Dolan would have used would have lost like Rinacci in 2018.”
Dolan was Rob Portman II.
Moreno is the best shot, but it’s going to be an uphill climb.
Gee, Surrender Monkeys, it seems that the RNC plan has now been tried and so far so good.
Cue the sad trombone.
thanks in part to MAGA voters’ strong showing in early and absentee voting.

Here’s hoping Michael Whatley & Lara Trump emulate this strategy so that we might actually achieve a real RED WAVE nationwide in November.
