BELLBROOK, OHIO β Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno is making his closing pitch to voters as one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country and the most expensive in American history enters its final days.
Moreno addressed a large group of enthusiastic supporters on Saturday night in Greene County, Ohio, and also spoke to Fox News Digital about what he hopes undecided voters know about his race against incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
“Sherrod Brown is too liberal for Ohio,” Moreno said. “I’m for Ohio. He’s for they/them. The reality is I’m going to work every single day to make the lives of Ohioans better. Sherrod Brown has failed: 200,000 manufacturing jobs lost, Generationally high inflation, instability in every corner of the world. He’s for the Green New Deal. He doesn’t represent Ohio’s values.”
“He’s too liberal for Ohio. I’m going to make a change. I’ll work hard every single day and always remember that voters are in charge.”
I’M BERNIE MORENO: THIS IS WHY I WANT OHIO’S VOTE FOR SENATE
After trailing Brown in most polls all summer, Moreno has pulled virtually even with Brown in the last few weeks. Moreno was asked whether he is “nervous” about the race given that the polls are so tight.
“No, because, look, the polls had to be tied with Matt Dolan in the primary and we won by 18,” Moreno said. “Now, I don’t think itβs going to be an 18-point victory. But based on the energy, the enthusiasm, the early vote, the idea that people just want a change.”
“They’ve been crushed by the last four years. High prices, open borders, instability all over the world. They see the people in Washington, D.C., taking better care of illegal immigrants than American citizens. They see this country sending billions of dollars overseas when we have real needs here. So I think the temperature in the country, in Ohio, they want to change. Now, hereβs Sherrod Brown trying to run as a change candidate, which of course, is nonsense, considering they’re the party in charge right now. They have been for four years.”
