‘Biden’s Best Friend’: Ohio Republicans Confident White House Will Sink Democratic Incumbent Sherrod Brown

Ohio Republicans believe they have a simple strategy to beat three-term Democratic senator Sherrod Brown: tie him to President Joe Biden.

“He’s Joe Biden’s best friend in Ohio, and that’ll be the most serious headwind he’s ever faced,” Ohio GOP chairman Alex Triantafilou said in a recent interview. “We know he’s formidable. We’re not gonna take it lightly. He’s gonna have tons of outside money — special-interest money will pour into the state to help him. But it’s not going to be enough.”
