Donald Trump-backed US Senate candidate clinches Republican nomination in Ohio

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : The Moreno campaign received a boost in the final stretch of campaigning after Trump joined the local businessman for a rally at the weekend.
69% : Moreno's victory in the Ohio primary will be seen as a victory for Trump, and the latest demonstration of the former president's enduring grip on the Republican grassroots.
60% : But this is a state that Trump is likely to win by high single digits," Kondik said.
40% : While Brown was able to win re-election in the 2018 midterms by a nearly seven-point margin, analysts expect Trump to once again easily carry Ohio in 2024 -- meaning a large number of his voters would need to "split" their ticket and vote for the former president and the Democratic incumbent senator in order for Brown to win again this year.
27% : The Senate candidate in Ohio endorsed by Donald Trump, Bernie Moreno, has won a closely watched Republican primary contest and will face off against longtime Democratic senator Sherrod Brown in what is almost certain to be one of the most hotly contested congressional races this November.
27% : Moreno defeated Matt Dolan, a more moderate state legislator who had received the endorsement of Mike DeWine, the state's popular Republican governor who has at times been a pointed critic of Trump, as well as a third candidate who consistently trailed in the polls, Frank LaRose.
25% : The rally made headlines nationwide after Trump warned there would be a "bloodbath" if he lost the presidential election in November, as part of rambling remarks in which he threatened to impose a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese cars manufactured in Mexico.
12% : Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in Ohio in 2016 by an eight-point margin, and four years later, beat Joe Biden there by about eight points again.
