Republican Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno released an ad criticizing Democrat Sherrod Brown’s immigration record. The ad claims that Brown supports Biden’s “open border agenda” and has opposed funding efforts to detain and deport criminal illegal immigrants. It also cites Brown’s past statements calling the border wall “stupid” and “wrong.” The ad goes on to mention that Brown received an “F-” rating on immigration from a conservative group and claimed that contributed to the current border situation where “drugs and crime pour through our broken border.” Brown has defended his immigration record, saying that he shares some of the same policies as former President Trump. The Moreno campaign has previously hit Brown on his immigration voting record, calling out votes as a senator that included rejecting a proposal in 2013 that would have delayed permanent legal status for many illegal immigrants until a 700-mile double layered border fence was constructed. Brown’s race against Moreno in November will be one of the most closely watched in the country. Many view it as one of the best opportunities Republicans have to take back control of the Senate, which Democrats currently hold by a 51-49 margin, in a state that Trump won by 8 points in 2020 and is expected to win again.
