right now bernie moreno is at the top with 29% matt dolan has toys 7%, and frank larose has 21% withndecided. again this is within the margin of error so could be anyone's race right now. >> and there been a couple of endorsement in this race on the republican side.e. who has gotten those? >> the biggest endorsement was of course former president trump who came out behind businessman bernie moreno. this instantly shot him up from polling in the lowest to the highest, and he has used every opportunity to mention that he hass endorsed by trump and effect trump is coming to dayton, ohio, this weekend to campaign for him. >> how potent is the trump endorsement in ohio? it's had mixed results in other states but ohio is fairly solidly behind the former president. >> that's true. i'll have shifted more conservative in recent years and i have spoken to voters in ohio. many republican say the trump and trust that does hold a lot of weight with them. however, we've the past trump has endorsed people who end up going on to lose in the general election. we could see that happening here because

but matt dolan, i think is by far the strongest candidate. and i think we this ohio, as you know, maybe one of the states that decides who controls the united states sent. so there's a lot at stake in this election, and that's why i'm supporting dolan are you confident that dolan will willing went on tuesday >> i think it's very close race down and there's no doubt this is a very, very close race. i don't think anybody can predict who's going to win the last polls we've seen, show him up slightly. but it's look, it's a close to close, close race >> we saw that the former president earned enough delegates to clinch the republican nomination this past week, you have not endorsed him yet. will you? >> well i've, always said that i will support the republican nominee. i'm a republican. i certainly won't do that. but my focus this year is going to be on a lot of local races. and it's going to be particularly focused on the united states senate. this is going to be a very close race in the fall and we're really going to focus on that. i mean, the p

bernie marino is at the top with 29%, matt dolan has 27% and franke has 23%, but it could be anyone'sace right now. >> a couple of endorsements in this race on the republican side. >> the biggest endorsement was former president donald trump who came up behind bernie marino. they shut him up from the lowest to the highest, and he has used every opportunity to mentioned that he is endorsed by trump and trump is coming to dayton, ohio to campaign for him. >> how potent is the trump endorsement in ohio? it has mixed results in other states, but ohio is solidly behind the former president. >> ohio has shifted were conservative in recent years and i have spoken to voters in ohio. many voters say the trump endorsement does hold a lot of weight with them. we have seen in the past that trump endorses people who go want to lose in the general election. the incumbent democratic senator sherrod brown has a solid standing and does not toe the democratic line, so finding someone who can reach across to independents good to be helpful to republicans. matt dolan is the candidate most likely to appea

[booing] the worst president, at most incompetent, and the most corrupt. other than that i think he is doing quite a good job, and we will make america great agai[ch] the stupidest people running things in their history of our country. i would like to use a more sophisticated word, but there are some words -- th

i think what matt dolan is going through is sad and pathetic. he's talking about his stylistic differences with someone who tried to overthrow the government of the united states. i mean, look, very seldom has it been said he lacks a spine of anybody in the world they lack the courage of mike pence. but really, that's what is happening here. and it just shows the impossible position that the republican party has placed itself in. donald trump is evil. he is antiamerican. he's a hater. if the republican party stands for anything, it has to stand against that. and the party has just collapsed as a moral force. i know these people in ohio. they hate donald trump, people like matt dolan and others and the establishment. they wouldn't have donald trump in their home, their spouses wouldn't allow them and they still want to pose him. i think it is sad and compromising. >> they feel like they can't win? >> yes. but you can't win if you don't fight. who is it better to be when you're going to lose a race, liz cheney or matt dolan. at least have some int

whether it is matt dolan, whoever withins. just to be clear, you do not win ohio. if you don't do well along lake erie. that is where sherrod will have a great contrast. let's say dolan wins. family owns the cleveland guardians. he can go and make a great contrast like he did against dewine. and moreno, if moreno wins, i think he has a good opportunity in the suburbs. mike dewine won the suburbs in a big way. jd vance did not very well versus tim ryan. so whether it is dolan or moreno and i don't know what is going to happen tonight. he is the long standing brand, allows him to really pivot and contrast against either one of them in different parts of the state. >> that is interesting. so they are a different, the contours of this race might look differently depending on who comes out tonight. but, to your point earlier about the sort of underperformance, i remember sitting in this room in 2022 watching dewine cruise to victory. and there have been, you know, the sort of attempts to boost moreno because they think he is a weaker candidate. they have run $2 million

of moreno wins 58% of the so-called election denier's the bigger group of voters here to matt dolan is 24%. frank larose and 18% with these voters, if you look at the reverse, those that do believe correctly that joe biden was legitimately elected. remember, a smaller groups to third, and you see that matt dolan does much better with those voters. again, he's the establishment back candidate. he gets 63% of those who say biden was legitimately elected. trump's candidate, bernie moreno, only gets 20% of those voters, anderson, and jeff words >> what's the sense of >> where this senate primaries headed tonight? >> well, that's certainly is the divide that david laid out. there. are there is a sense, this is establishment versus maga, primary. and of course, we've seen these play out through the era of trump for year after year, we will see what the ohio resolve this site, but matt dolan state senator, he is backed by ohio governor mike dhawan and former senator rob portman moreno for his part, is backed by donald trump and senator jd vance and others. but interesting beyond this estab

and you see that matt dolan does much better with those voters. again, he's the establishment back candidate. he gets 63% of those who say biden was legitimately elected. trump's candidate, bernie moreno, only gets 20% of those voters, anderson and jeff words, >> what's the sense >> of where the senate >> primaries headed tonight? >> well, that certainly is the divide that david laid out. there. are there is a sense, this is a versus maga primary. and of course, we've seen these play out through the era of trump four year after year, we will see what the hi all resolve this site, but matt dolan, the state senator, he is backed by ohio governor mike to wine and former senator rob portman moreno for his part, is backed by donald trump and senator jd pants and others. but anderson, beyond this establishment, mega divide in politics. there's a stark policy differences. well, and this is something that really has emerged in the final days of this race. governor to wine has been urging, in fact, imploring republican since to look at the policy differenc

matt dolan has the support of ohio governor mike dewine.ng to campaign together tonight in columbus. and dewine is popular with independent voters. not so popular with the right flank of the republican party but somebody who can make a difference in a close race, and that is what's fueling these rhino attacks from trump and bernie marino and kari lake. trump and marino are treating him like an urgent threat. there is a third candidate in the primary, frank larose. he started the race with the highest name recognition and a lot of promise. but he lacks the money that marino and dolan have. they are independently wealthy, they've got vast resources to advertise their message. he has not been able to make a positive case for himself on tv in the closing weeks, and this is why it looks like we're ending at a two-person race, the trump side versus the establishment. >> it took us a moment to get to larose. we are taking a live look at an event there in ohio. as you were speaking of him, and it seems, has become a two-man race. henry gomez, i'll

and matt dolan whose family owns the cleveland guardians.re in ohio, and bernie moreno trounced them is what we're seeing from the results. we're also getting a look at exit polling, about how much the connection between a candidate and former president trump mattered. when you look at the exit polling that we have from yesterday's results, overwhelmingly the majority of republican voters in the primary yesterday felt that it was important that the next senator from ohio supports former president trump. so you can see that they really cared about that connectivity by and large. but now bernie moreno had a challenge in front of him. he has to unite a republican base that was put into two camps. you had the trump wing of the party. and then you have the more established traditional wing of the republican party led by the state's governor, mike dewine who endorsed state senator matt dolan. you have those two wings of the party facing off last night, and now moreno has to try to bring them all together. here's part of what he shared last night a

then the more moderate wayne, that was all and from matt dolan, so it is sort of like the herschel walker, jd vance, and be dramatically over performing the order establishment. >> of course, brown, the incumbents, the three term senator, very popular. and looking at a statewide public, he really has carved up the same guy, i profiled him when he was running for senate in 2005, into 2006. and i want to say this, he's the exactly the same. if you go back and read the profile is exactly the same, 20 years ago. and the same focus on the same issues he cares about and he speaks in the same way, he's consistent and in many ways, american politics, both in the democratic party and some ways they have, towards his position >> if you look at how you win ohio, there are a lot of key areas but whether it is matt dolan, or whoever wins, just to be clear, you do not win ohio, if you don't do well along lake erie. that is where they will have a great contrast. let's say dolan wins, the establishment guy, the family owns the cleveland guardians and all of that. they can go back to the counties along la

the chief rival for the republican senate nomination is a man named matt dolan who hasn't aligned himself tightly with the trump movement. he says he supports trump policies but acknowledges he has personality differences with the former president and dolan has an endorsement from mike dewine who has been cautious of how he approaches trump. dolan and dewine rallied together last night and they made this case about how you need to send somebody to washington to get results, not somebody who shouts all the time. i asked if he was talking about trump and he said it was more about leaders in washington. this race seems to be a toss up. that's why we've seen trump, kari lake, ngome. the results tonight are really going to tell us if trump's influence and clout still matters in a state he won twice by eight percentage points. >> i said candidate quality because it reminds me of obviously what mitch mcconnell said. saying the candidates of trump, suggesting the candidates trump picks have been so good for the general electorate. i wonder if this is going to be the case here. there's also news t

will have this republican party governor mike to wind former senator rob portman have endorsed matt dolan and the competition between bernie moreno dolan has been so significant, it's been heated, it's been quite frankly, pretty nasty. hear 40 million have been spent on this race all of this worry some republicans who believe that senator brown could actually win in november if this race ends in a certain way, i caught up with governor mike 2y1, who actually lost to sherrod brown, act in 2006. he had this to say about why it's so important to pick the right candidate >> ground is very widely he's been elected three times united states senate he been running for office for 40 years. he's very, very good campaigning. so he's gonna be tough to beat kennedy, beaten absolutely, absolutely matt dolan has by far the strongest person to do it >> so certainly this will be a test of the former president's strength as well. and ohio secretary of state frank larose, also running today. in fact, he voted behind me here just a few moments ago. he called out democrats for meddling in this race and his w

he is backing matt dolan. of course, their styles are different. the substance since is different. we could up with senator dole and last night he had this to say about the importance of this race >> i have fought and gotten results because if you're not getting results, you're just shouting. and we've had too much shouting in our country too much shouting in our country. so a bit of a not some veiled reference, perhaps to foreign president donald trump, who was here in ohio over the weekend campaigning for bernie moreno he was aggressively going after matt dolan, whose family happens to own the cleveland guardians. of course, the longtime baseball franchise. trump was criticizing them for changing in the name from the cleveland indians. so that of course has nothing to do with this senate race, but wolf, it just gives you a sense of how expensive and how acrimonious this race has been. some 40 million spent in tv ads alone on this the reason it matters is of course, sherrod brown is one of two incumbent democratic senators. the other being jon tester in montana that really are run

three names on the ballot tomorrow including state senator matt dolan.sinessman moreno. they are in damage control after the associated press says it found a 2008 adult friend finder page they believe was tied to moreno. the campaign said it is a joke from years ago and they're dismissing it. he had nothing to do with the account and existed for less than a half day 16 years ago. he is blaming his opponents for the story going viral. candidate calling the whole thing vile and trying to pivot to other issues. >> j.d. vance and i will be great partners. we'll work together in the united states senate to always advocate for ohio to make sure we're putting ohio first. >> matt dolan has a done of establishment support including governor dewine. he hopes this time the legislature will stand out to forties. >> you would expect it to be shades of gray. i'm the only one that can say here is a conservative agenda that has been put in place in ohio that i was the author of. >> hoping the luck of the irish will carry him tomorrow. this race getting a lot of attentio

. >> the polls clearly show matt dolan has the best chance of winning. interesting the democrats think the same thing. >> ohio secretary of state frank la rose on the senate bid urging voters to look at his record and time in the u.s. army. he admits it is an uphill battle. he is not as wealthy as his two main components. a lot on the line. the focus will be on how trump's endorsement did or did not impact this race. you can see the polls are own. we have to wait more hours to find out who the winner is. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: let's show you what is happening in ohio as mark pointed out. frank la rose is the secretary of state. appears to have an uphill climb. we'll see if that's the case today. moreno is the one that got trump's endorsement. conservative republicans in ohio getting behind matt dolan. look for a close race later tonight. sherod brown has been pretty effective in the buckeye state. any one of these republicans has a chance to knock him off because ohio, you know i'm old enough to remember 2012 when ohio was a battleground state. loo

this is one of only three counties in ohio that matt dolan won in the 2022 senate primary. vance in the primary. this is a place where dolan wants to get big numbers. you see him with what we think is the mail vote leading by 12 points over moreno. he wants to get the number as high as he can in places like franklin, in cuyahoga, the big counties here with lots of suburban metro areas. lots of college degrees. that's where he needs to run up the biggest numbers to have a shot here. >> steve kornacki, wave your arms if any excitement takes place. thank you, my friend. we'll be right back. generalized myasthenia gravis made my life a lot harder. but the picture started changing when i started on vyvgart. ♪♪ vyvgart is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are anti-achr antibody positive. in a clinical trial, vyvgart significantly improved most participants' ability to do daily activities when added to their current gmg treatment. ♪♪ most participants taking vyvgart also had less muscle weakness. and your vyvgart treatment schedule is designed just for you. in a cl

is competing against the ohio secretary of state but his biggest competition is state senator, matt dolanump for president. according to the new york times, a handful of surveys have indicated that he's a more traditional republican with deep pockets of his own and is gaining traction. monday, he picked up an endorsement from ohio's republican governor and alarm bells are ringing in trump's camp. his team reportedly changed up his plans, diverting trump from his scheduled rally in arizona saturday to appear in dayton, ohio to give marie know what they see as a much- needed 11th hour boost. tensions between candidates are so high that the race has turned into an all out brawl. for the second straight election cycle, the buckeye state is home to a bruising intraparty fight, one that republicans worry could reduce lasting damage to the nominee and threaten their chance is of flipping the seat and ultimately, the senate. depending who wins in november, republicans need to flip one or two seats to control the upper chamber. democrats are aware of this. watch. >> m.a.g.a. republican bernie mari

[applause] secretary of state frank larose adjoins us part part to become secretary of state in 2018 he served in the u.s. army and are in the army green beret. since becoming secretary he has made election integrity with his top priorities. a secretary, thank you. >> thank you mike. by late businessman he is from westlake ohio his family migrated from columbia when he was just five years old. he has worked as an entrepreneur since 2005 when he purchased his first car dealership. thank you so much we appreciate it. >> thank you. [cheering] well done with the applause. before we begin the foreman went to outland to the candidates that will answer each question the person answering the first question has been selected through a random draw throughout t

matt dolan someone who's aligned with the state's governor, mike dewine, a much more traditional if you the old school, if you will, traditional establishment republican and the governor endorsed that state senator. so there were those two different wings of the party on display. and as we've seen once again, former president trump is prevailing here with his endorsement. the question now is can moreno bring all the people who were supporting -- and of course that's not necessarily universal for dolan supporters, but at least some dolan supporters tell us that they did not want to see someone who is tied closely with former president trump becoming the next senator. here's what we heard from someone on the trail in recent days. >> i would not vote for brian moreno. >> why is that? >> because trump backs him. i can't back any candidate that trump backs, period. >> i think what we have to do now is as a fully united party understand we have one mission, which is to get rid of sherrod brown. >> reporter: that's the message, a call of unity from bernie moreno at his watch party after the pr

there are three candidates, as you said state senator matt dolan, he is endorsed by the establishment republicans in wing here, if you will, a governor mike dhawan and former senator rob portman, he is in a tight challenge with trump back candidate bernie moreno, a cleveland businessman. >> the >> ohio secretary of state, frank larose, also on the ballot. so these three men vying for not only the winner challenge sherrod brown, but also for the direction of the republican party. well, if this could be one of the last gasps of the establishment versus the maga movement. if you will. but we are getting a look at those exit polls tonight. let's take a look at some so these preliminary numbers, these are conducted by conversations and interviews with voters as they went to polling places across ohio today, as well as early voting in the last couple of weeks. some interesting i'm finding well, when asked about the opinion of trump, when he was president, 58% said they strongly approve 20% say they somewhat approve 7%, somewhat disapproved 13% strongly disapprove wolf those numbers tell us

and we saw on the opposite side of this match up between moreno and state senator matt dolan, a thirdrace. really if you turn on the tv and looked at the advertisements, it was dolan and moreno. and dolan said he differed from the former president on rhetoric. even he was trying to embrace the former president from a policy standpoint, and that speaks to donald trump's finger print being all over the party moving forward. moreno has to bring together moderate republicans to those aligned with the former president, and spoke to that at his victory speech. here's part of what he shared. >> i think what we have to do now is as a fully united party, understand we have one mission, which is to get rid of sherrod brown. >> reporter: now, the question, katy, is can he fully unite the party. some voters told our team if matt dolan was not the nominee for the republican party, they would not be voting for another republican candidate. so while sherrod brown is seen as one of the more vulnerable if not the most vulnerable democratic senators up for reelection this fall, it's not clear if the re

businessman bernie moreno will defeat ohio's secretary of state frank larose and state senator matt dolan trump campaigned for moreno three days ahead of his win. he will take on incumbent democratic senator sherrod brown in november. >>> and former trump white house adviser peter navarro reported to a federal prison in miami to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of congress. naom the trump administration to go to prison for a crime related to the january 6th attack on the capitol. he defied a subpoena from a house committee investigating the riot. it's also the first time a former white house official has ever been jailed for contempt of congress. >>> the state department is considering a new plan to airlift americans trapped inside haiti as the situation on the ground spirals out of control. with the main airport in haiti's capital new closed, helicopters may be used to fly americans to the dominican republic where they could book flights home to the u.s. here's cbs' manuel bojorquez. >> reporter: another day at cap-hatien international airport as americans are desperate t

matt dolan, who was the more modern candidate back, of course, by the republican governor, their mic the wine. you can look on your senate map here. it's pretty much all moreno cranberry, only one little county over here, hardin county. and there's only 27% of the vote in there. so it wouldn't be surprising to me if that in fact turns over to cranberry moreno actually ends up winning it. of course, it shouldn't be a big surprise that you would see the republic let's see if >> we can get there. >> there we go up oh, there we go. >> trump or trump back candidate winning in a primary. why is that? look historically speaking, trump primary endorsement win percentage in 2020 and house gov and senate races, 96% in 2022, 89%. so this just, wow, in line with what we generally see, that is trump-backed candidates winning and primaries of course, the real question as we head towards the general election is whether or not bernie moreno can win there. and this i think is a big question because if you go back to 2022, trump-backed candidates, trump-backed senate candidate, lost key races in georg

matt dolan. so this is a something republicans will decide today, and it certainly will have big implications going into the fall elections. we saw matt dolan last night at an event here in columbus. he laid out the stakes as well as sherrod brown did yesterday are we ready. to win tomorrow challenge share brown and retire sherrod brown from ohio politics >> i let the rich guys fight it out there all spending their, spending your inherited, their inheritance in this race we know we don't. one thing we know that they all pretty much are the same >> so this race has been extraordinarily expensive, more than $40 million spent in television advertising alone. all for that us senate seat so kate, again, this is going to be one of those critical races to watch ohio as long been a battleground, it's no longer of course, a presidential battleground, but it's certainly is a senate battleground. by the end of tonight, senator sherrod brown should find out who he is running against in that tight race in nov

matt on dolan also in that race. and you have a candidate who was playing. josh mandell, who also was in there. and what was interesting in that primary, in 2022, was that jd vance only get 32 to 33% of the vote, even with donald trump's endorsement in 2022. but in these kind of races, and i think what you're alluding to in a three-person race, the person who ends up having donald trump's endorsement does matter. and now it becomes incumbent upon moreno to start uniting has party. and you already ended up seeing that dolan ended up congratulating him and saying he's going to do everything he can to help republicans defeat sherrod brown in november. >>> sy ymone. two thirds say president biden did not win the 2020 election. how do we deal with that as we barrel towards another 2020 election. >> the facts are that joe biden did win that election in 2020. as did every house member, frankly on the ballot. you can't say joe biden didn't legitimately win the other seats. that's some of how folks should be talking about this. but i think to piggyback off of the pig

i mean, one with 18 percentage point margin over matt dolan, the more establishment backed dewine portman back candidate here. so a huge significant victory, obviously for moreno, for trump, who went in last weekend. there's no doubt about that. and continuing to put the stamp on the fact that that old establishment, republican party is no more as the dominant force inside the republican party. we know that it's donald trump's party but to your point, casey what is consequential here is the matchup for november because this is a race that could end up determining control of the united states senate. and sherrod brown has a major uphill climb in now, what was formerly a battleground state, but is now very red state of ohio. and he's running in a cycle unlike his previous three races as the state has gotten further away from democrats. so i know democrats got the candidate that they preferred, and i'm sure i'm wanted to get there, but that doesn't mean it's going to make it really any left that's tough of a battle for sherrod brown here. yeah. no. i mean, schumer kind of tried play at the l

governor mike dhawan, former senator rob portman, backing matt dolan, a state senator, whose family owns a cleveland guardians, and they were really pushing for his candidacy, but it was the trump back to bernie moreno, who won tonight. and the sense of this, i mean, there's no doubt that trump controls the republican party, but there are still is a sense of some outliers out there and a policy matter governor dwyane was talking specifically imploring republicans to consider foreign policy, consider funding for ukraine. those arguments simply did not win the day. so just a short time ago in cleveland, bernie moreno, who was a former car dealer a colombian immigrant. he had this to say about as when and who he thanked >> i also want to thank president trump. i just got off the phone with president trump >> and the reality is, we have an opportunity now. we have an opportunity now to retire the old kami and send them to the retirement home and then say this country >> so presumably burning maria was talking about senator brown. there have courses the seeking his fourth term here in ohio, a

you have matt dolan, matt dolan supported by the republican governor, mike dewine.an said the 2020 election was won fair and square by joe biden. he pushes the blame for january 6th on donald trump, you can see the lines of division there. and the third candidate in this race, frank larose, the secretary of state, has cinched the 2020 election, which he certified in ohio, has gravitated towards trump, has sought trump's endorsement in this race, didn't get it, but has certainly tried to align himself with trump with his movement and try to get some share of that vote. those are the basic dynamics here. and as you said, exit polling was conducted today. we'll get more numbers as the night goes on, but can i show you some initial numbers that we've gotten here, about the composition of the electorate. again, first wave numbers can change, but this is a picture coming into focus here. and i think this question is one that it's interesting here, how important, we asked republican primary voters, is it that the next ohio senator show support for donald trump. and here's

mr moreno, seen here on the left, is running against matt dolan who has the backing of the state's establishedey on his campaign. the highly anticipated senate election is an important one and mrtrump's support could possibly propel mr moreno to victory in the primary. while backing mr moreno, donald trump also made his case for another term in the white house. a brilliant, very brilliant wall street analysts said the only thing good right now about our economy as the stock market and the only reason that's good is because people think that trump is going to be elected president and if they ever thought that he wasn't, you would end up with a crash of the likes of which we haven't seen since 1929. so they can take that the way they want but i happen to agree. my colleague, carl nasman, was at the rally, and sent this report. donald trump, boarding his private plane and getting ready to leave 0hio, after an hour—long speech, his first rally since essentially wrapping up the republican presidential nomination. this address going hard on immigration and the border, criticising current presidentjo

big senate primary race trump backing bernie moreno going marino going up against state senator matt dolanlls closed in florida former president donald trump voting in palm beach this afternoon alongside former first lady them along trump the couple strolling outside to address a gaggle of reporters who enjoy having a president that actually answers questions. >> they have to close the borders our country is dying our country is being overridden this is an invasion. >> how do you conduct mass deportation? >> that will be very evident it will go very quickly i will tell you that it will go the deportation we will get the criminals out of our country right away. >> mr trump are you going to return to the campaign trail? >> what are you trying to prove. >> i'd voted for donald trump to someone just say who did you vote for? i voted for donald trump, thank you. >> jesse: to keep watching election results as they come in all night. in the 1960s americans got a look behind the curtain of washington operation mockingbird the cia plan to bait journalists with hoaxes disguised as scoops got exposed

. >> primary tomorrow and he faces frank laruse and matt dolan. >> steve: quick question.fter state of the union address address, sounded like a lot of people in his party and campaign energized because he was alive. doesn't seem he is in a situation to have ear play, between a reporter and him. they felt 10 days ago he was doing ago. >> number of different counts on this. this president does not get out and take questions. every now and then he'll pop over for a question or two. there have been complaints to the white house he needs to answer questions more directly. >> steve: love to have him on the couch, we have room. >> ainsley: thank you, rich. in addition to the article nbc is saying he was cussing and swearing and say in a separate article he has new shoes, wearing lifestyle sneakers, hocas, some say are to keep him from falling. >> lawrence: glad they are putting the approximate on the road. what will he talk about? will he stand with jewish people or align himself with the caucus. will he sue texas and talk about securing the border or say listen, greg abbott and

now, in the race, our state senator matt dolan, secretary of state matt larose and a candidate endorsedy morina is the most maga of all the candidates and tomorrow trump is holding a big rally just outside of dayton for him. bernie morano joins me now. good to see you tonight. this is important race the senate wants to pick up by knocking on sherrod brown. why are you running away with it then citizens you are the most maga funded by a family that has billions of dollars that can put endless money into this race. i have not been on a ballot before. i'm not somebody who has held public office. i have been a business guy my whole life. i'm a legal immigrant from south america. i started a business. i never thought for a million years i would be running for office. but these republicans, these rinos these swamp creatures that are reliable democrat votes have motivated me to run. that's why i'm doing it. that's why we're going to win. because the base understands we can't have a repeat of 2017 in which president trump is in the white house but that he has got a bunch of republicans in name

beating out matt dolan and secretary of state frank larose. now looking ahead to november. >> well, it's going to be very nasty for one reason. sherrod brown can't run on anything other than nastiness. he has no record. this guy is an abject failure. >> moreno saying on x i look forward to uniting our party and working on sending sherrod brown packing in november. >> todd: we shall see. learn about and other urging jerome power to lower interest rates ahead of the meeting today. today excessively contractionary monetary policy needlessly worsens housing market and balancing any affordability of. banking instability employment and rage growth and attendant reductions and racial inequality. >> carley: ask to pass a law to speak english in those statements. hopefully charles payne is break it down for us making mope on fox business. he, of course, joins us now. good morning to you. >> charles: good morning. certainly what elizabeth warren warren is saying she doesn't want keep raising interest rates. >> she wants him to start cutting him. that wa

matt dolan was also in that race. and you had a candidate who was playing, josh mandell who was also in there. in the frank larose position. what is interesting in that primary, vance only got 32 to 33% of the vote. even with donald trump's endorsement in 2022. but in these kind of races and i think what you are alluded to, in a three-person race versus a two-person race, the candidate who ends up having donald trump's endorsement does matter. and now it becomes incumbent upon moreno to unite his party and you already end up seeing that dolan ended up congratulating him and saying he is going to do everything he can to help republicans to defeat sherrod brown in november. >> so, simone, nbc news exit polling in ohio shows nearly two-thirds of republican voters there say president biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election. how do we deal with that as we barrel toward another presidential election? >> look, we have to continue to just tell the truth and speak the facts and the facts are that joe biden did win tha

marino was endorsed by donald trump, and matt dolan is backed by the republican governor, by rob portmanblican senator. dolan had run in 2022, and that race, if you will recall, donald trump also endorsed a dolan opponent that year, and it was was j.d. vance, and now the significance of this ohio race and who emerges as the nominee is this, if the democrats are going to have any chance of hanging on to the u.s. senate this november, this is a must-win state. by itself it will not hold the majority, but they cannot afford to lose it. they are saying marino is the weakest one, so they have spent money trying to help mareno win that seat today. they are blue if they are currently held by democrats or red if they are held by republicans. these are the numbers. right now the republicans have a 51-49 edge in the u.s. senate. ohio, a blue state when it comes to the race, and it's a red state in presidential elections. trump carried ohio twice by eight points. so sherrod brown, to win the election in november, brown is going to need to get trump voters to vote for him in the senate race, to spli

you are turning on the television and looking at the ads it is two-man race between businessman matt dolan and businessman moreno. moreno has the endorsement of trump, and we caught up with dolan last night before the campaign, and this is what he shared about the involvement with the former president. >> are you more engaged with the former president to see if he would endorse you in this race? >> i did not. >> why was he considering it? >> well, i have been laser focused on ohio and making sure that people understand that i understand ohio and i want to go fight for ohio to make a stronger america. >>> so, at the same time, mr. dolan is telling me that he is seeing somebody whose policy position line up as what people see as trump policies, and he is getting it done and he made a point of saying that he is getting it done but he is not doing it with shouting, and clearly trying to draw a contrast there, ana. >> it is not just ohio's primary but there are primaries in arizona and florida and illinois and ohio and kansas. >> yes, a special election in california near bakersfield where kevi

he stuck to that defense and even though matt dolan, the state senator tied immediately started runningk up the race but his strategy is to say like donald trump i'm being lied about, like brett kavanaugh i'm being lied aboutch. >> these candidates to try to unset senator brown who's a democrat who keeps winning in ohio, which has become more and more of a red state, what's the perception from democrats as to the potential opponent and how close will this race become the general in november? >> well, democrats do want to run against moren, they've said so with their super pac spending a couple million dollars in the final weekend on ads promoting moreno. this friend finder story aside, they think he's a weaker candidate. he's flip-flopped on a number of issues over the years. he was a critic of trump. he's now maga. they think for various reasons he's more mallvable. only round one of the elections which were pretty good cycles for democrats. he's the last democrat standing in ohio. he and john tester of montana are the highest senators to defend this circle. they want a weak candidate
