Ad CLAIMS Trump is RACIST
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is facing criticism for his political resemblance to President Biden as Democrats on Capitol Hill and in down-ballot races remain alarmed by the president’s dismal June debate performance.
In the advertisement from the campaign of Republican candidate Bernie Moreno, Brown states, “Joe Biden’s politics now are not much different from mine.” He quoted something from an interview in 2021. The commercial highlights the susceptible Democrat’s tendency to support Biden, with a voiceover declaring, “Extreme liberal Sherrod Brown voted with Biden 99% of the time.”
The campaign referenced FiveThirtyEight’s study of Senate votes from the 117th Congress in 2021 and 2022, which showed Brown voting 98.5% of the time in favor of Biden. A different FiveThirtyEight aggregation indicates that in 2023, during the first half of the 118th Congress, Brown voted with the president 97.9% of the time.
Reagan McCarthy, a spokesman for Moreno, said in a statement, “Sherrod Brown votes with Biden 99% of the time for his disastrous agenda that has destroyed our economy, created a wide open southern border, waged war on American energy, and sold out Ohio workers.” “Brown can try to run from his record of voting in lockstep with his longtime friend Joe Biden, but Ohioans know that he has rubber-stamped this administration’s agenda every step of the way.” The advertisement is a part of a seven-figure statewide ad buy that will be distributed via mail, internet, and streaming media.
A further clip of Brown from 2019 is aired in the video, in which he makes reference to former President Trump by saying, “We have a president who is a racist.” throughout addition, there are clips of Biden referring to Brown as his “buddy” throughout the advertisement, and there are links to JustLikeBiden.com.
Matt Keyes, the spokesperson for Brown, told Fox News Digital that “Sherrod works for Ohio, which is why he’s stood up to presidents of both parties to block bad trade deals, worked with Republicans to make sure border patrol agents and law enforcement officers have the resources they need, and demanded the Biden Administration crack down on Chinese solar products that undercut Ohio manufacturers.”
“Meanwhile, Bernie Moreno can’t be trusted and only looks out for himself.”
Cook Political Report, a neutral political handicapper, has only two Senate races listed and rates the Ohio contest as a “Toss Up”.
