Other speakers at the rally in support of Moreno included South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. J.D. Vance.
Dolan was endorsed last week by Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine and former Sen. Rob Portman. The primaries are on Tuesday. The winner will face three-term Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown.
The rally drew national attention after the media, Democrats and the Biden campaign attempted to foist a Trump hoax on the American public, claiming the auto industry and the country would face a “bloodbath ” if he had not been elected due to Joe Biden’s policies. help China and Mexico gut American automakers.
It took years to unmask the hoaxes of the left. Now it’s instant. The Trump βbloodbathβ hoax was debunked in record time. Democrats keep using the same magic tricks, but it’s too late, we know how they work. But they keep doing it, because that’s all they have. pic.twitter.com/Jw3jZKBjOc
