The Republican Party’s U.S. Senate candidate, Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno, has a message for those who vote based on emotions rather than the candidate’s policies.
On Saturday, Moreno brutally assessed the reality of Americans who “don’t like” Trump, saying the former president loves the United States more than any other leader in the country.
“I’m tired of Republicans saying, ‘I support President Trump’s policies, but I don’t like the man,’” Moreno said. “He’s a good man. He’s 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.”
At a campaign rally in Ohio, Moreno was joined by Trump, who boasted about the businessman-turned-politician.
Trump warned the crowd that President Joe Biden was a “great threat to our democracy” and “the worst president in the history of the United States.”
Moreno is seeking to flip a key Ohio Senate seat, potentially flipping the majority.
Last week, Trump endorsed Moreno, saying the candidate “will always stand up to fascist lunatics and spineless RINOS.”
He praised Moreno for being a successful political outsider and for being forceful on borders, crime and election integrity.
I am honored and grateful for your support @realDonaldTrump for the United States Senate from the Great State of Ohio.

Moreno will face Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Sen. Matt Dolan. He is running to defeat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), whom Trump calls a puppet of Biden’s radical, far-left policies.
