In a surprising move, former Ohio Governor Bob Taft, a Republican, has announced his endorsement of incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in the 2024 U.S. Senate race. This unusual endorsement highlights the fierce competition and evolving dynamics in the race, with Brown facing a challenge from Republican Bernie Moreno.
A nonprofit group with ties to Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown is pushing to close a major Ohio power plant, raising concerns about job losses and higher energy costs for residents. The group, known for its anti-Israel rhetoric, has been working alongside environmental organizations to pressure the plant’s owner, Blackstone, to shut down the facility. The move has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it would negatively impact the state’s energy grid and further strain local residents’ already high energy bills.
Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat running for re-election in Ohio, is facing criticism for his past comments labeling former President Donald Trump a racist. These comments have resurfaced amidst a tight Senate race against Republican challenger Bernie Moreno. Brown’s campaign defends his record, while Republicans highlight his past statements as evidence of his radicalism and attempt to appeal to Trump voters.
Ohio GOP Senate candidate Bernie Moreno has released a new ad linking his opponent, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, to Vice President Kamala Harris. The ad highlights Brown’s support for Harris and points to their shared political agenda, emphasizing concerns about the border crisis and their liberal policies.
Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown is facing criticism over his stance on illegal immigration and support for policies that benefit undocumented immigrants, according to a new multimillion-dollar ad campaign. The ad, from One Nation, a group tied to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, highlights Brown’s votes against measures to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded benefits and in favor of Biden’s American Rescue Plan, which provided COVID-19 relief funds to undocumented residents. Brown’s race is considered one of the most competitive in the country, with border security emerging as a top issue for voters. As President Biden faces low approval ratings, Brown, among other vulnerable Democrats, is predicted to distance himself from the president.
