COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Donald Trump got what he wanted when former car dealer Bernie Moreno won the Republican Senate primary in Ohio.
So did Democrats.
Moreno's positions on abortion, immigration and Trump's election lies make the Republican less electable this fall, Democrats believe, in the race against Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. Democrats actually ran ads in the GOP primary's closing days boosting the Trump-backed Moreno over more moderate alternatives.
Yet it was Trump who may have cheered the loudest in the wake of Moreno's victory Tuesday night.
