Bob Taft Endorses Sherrod Brown for Senate

Former Ohio Governor Bob Taft has publicly endorsed Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in his reelection campaign against Republican nominee Bernie Moreno, a businessman supported by Donald Trump. In a letter to the Dayton Daily News, Taft praised Brown's experience, effective collaboration with local leaders, and seniority in the Senate, emphasizing the need for a strong advocate for Ohio's interests. Taft's endorsement is notable given his family's Republican legacy and his historical victory over Brown in the 1990 Secretary of State race. The political landscape in Ohio has shifted significantly toward Trump-aligned candidates, which complicates the impact of Taft's support. Brown's campaign is currently focused on attracting independent and crossover Republican voters in this high-stakes race, projected to cost over $400 million. Moreno's campaign has yet to respond to Taft's endorsement.
