Donald Trump heaped insults onto an already bitter Republican primary for Ohio’s Senate seat as he stumped for entrepreneur Bernie Moreno on Saturday.
In a 90-minute speech outside of Dayton, the former president labeled Matt Dolan, a wealthy state senator who has traded the lead with Moreno, as a RINO, or Republican in name only, and said his family’s decision to rename the“He’s trying to become the next Mitt Romney, I think Mitt Romney is his hero,” Trump told the crowd.
Trump touched down in Ohio three days before Republican voters choose who will challenge Sen. Sherrod Brown for his seat in the fall. The race is among the most consequential to determining which party will control the upper chamber next year. The Dolan campaign avoided mentioning the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in responding to the Saturday speech but repeated its portrayal of Moreno as a phony who reinvented himself to earn Trump’s support.
Andrew Cornu, the founder of Adult Friend Finder, judged in a social media post on Saturday that the profile was “consistent with a prank or someone just checking out the site.” TheDolan himself has shied away from the story in the two days since it broke. But his allies have seized on it, prompting bitter denunciations from Moreno and his wife, Bridget.
