Ohio State Sen. Matt Dolan, who ran against Moreno, received key endorsements from GOP establishment politicians, including Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and former U.S. Sen. Rob Portman. Moreno's other primary rival, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, declared his support for the former president. But it was Moreno who received Trump's endorsement late last year. The former president has a strong record of support within the state.
Moreno faces an incumbent Democrat who's served in the U.S. Senate since 2007, but Brown is also seen as one of the most vulnerable candidates seeking re-election in the U.S. Senate this year. He's the only Ohio Democrat who's been elected multiple times statewide even as Ohio has trended more Republican.
