Donald Trump-backed Senate Republican candidate Bernie Moreno, who won a tough primary race last week in Ohio, refused to say if he believes the 2020 presidential election was stolen from the former president.
We’ve had like three elections since then,” he told CNN last week as he departed a meeting of the Republican conference in the Capitol.
“This is not the topic I think people think about,” he said.
In January, Moreno’s campaign released a digital ad in which Moreno looked directly into the camera and said, “President Trump says the election was stolen, and he’s right.”The primary pitted Moreno against more establishment Republican candidates such as Matt Dolan.
it’s good to be a Republican, you get to have a spirited debate as to who your candidate should be,” he said.
