NEW PHILADELPHIA – The Republican candidate for Ohio senator visited New Philadelphia on Monday.
Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno, backed by Trump, is challenging Democrat Sherrod Brown, who is seeking a fourth term. Moreno appeared with Alabama senator and former college football coach Tommy Tuberville at Craft Bistro. They gathered a crowd of about 60 to 75 supporters and other elected officials, including Ohio’s top elections official, Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
“We have 1 p.m. The state of Ohio gave us 13 hours to vote tomorrow,” Moreno said. “At 6:30 sharp, the polls will open…and we’ll close them at 7:30 or until the last people in line get through, so 13 hours of voting is what’s left.”
Moreno predicted he would be elected to give the Republican Party control of the Senate.
“I think that’s what happens: I think once Ohio was called – and Ohio is the center of the political universe, think about it, the whole world – once this statement is made, DC is not a state, Puerto Rico is not a state. State, they don’t nationalize our elections, they don’t pack the Supreme Court, they don’t make citizens of all these illegals. This all ends the minute my race is announced at 8:00. It’s quite remarkable. Ohio did that.
Brown was in Cleveland on Monday with former President Bill Clinton and in Columbus this weekend where he spoke about money spent in opposition to his campaign.
“When you stand up for justice, when you stand up for…civil rights, when you stand up for unions, when you stand up for workers, when you…take on the drug companies, when you take on Wall Street, when you take on the companies that outsource . jobs, when you go after these companies that are ripping off the public, they come after you,” Brown said in Columbus.
