Bernie Moreno is hoping to unseat Sen. Sherrod Brown in a race that will help decide Senate control.
Now, his campaign is deploying anti-recording technology against "trackers" who try to record him.
Moreno's campaign acknowledged using an anti-recording device in a statement to BI but said the device was only being used against trackers, not regular event attendees.
It's unclear exactly which device the Moreno campaign is using, but it resembles a microphone jammer available online for roughly $400.
The former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley even weighed in, writing on X: "Are you trying to lose the election?"
