As everyone is consumed with the Joe Biden news of him dropping out of the race, they have not mentioned the real reason why. It’s not because they are afraid of losing the White House, which many are. But that’s not the critical thing. As we have talked about often, the down-ballot races are starting to show erosion, and one such race is one they are concerned about in Ohio, which is the Senator Sherrod Brown seat. Ohio is the future of a new economy where the battle plan is to bring jobs back from foreign markets, destroyed initially by globalism, and with J.D. Vance getting the VP pick by Trump, because of the story of Middletown, Ohio that is one of the best examples of this tragic aggression by global finance, Ohio is going to be the centerpiece of the MAGA movement trade policies over the next few years. And Sherrod Brown, the long-time Democrat stronghold, is not polling well against his challenger Bernie Moreno. Bernie is 3 points down in July without spending any money. At the same time, Sherrod Brown has spent a small fortune only to see his lead dwindle to a margin that is essentially within the margin of error. I had an excellent chance to talk to Bernie in the backyard of a mutual friend’s house, fresh off his return from Wisconsin, where he introduced J.D. Vance as the Vice Presidential Nominee for Trump. Bernie and J.D. have been tied at the hip for the last few years, and there are few political alliances closer to the MAGA movement than J.D. Vance and Bernie Moreno. Always close in the background is Don Jr. and the next generation of Republicans who will fill the gaps once Trump does finally retire after this next term. So we had a lot to talk about, and that was good.
I have been impressed with Bernie Moreno. It seems like a long time ago, but it was only September of 2023 when I had a call from a bunch of people who wanted me to have lunch with Bernie at a country club nearby and to hear his pitch. I was tired after just landing from Japan, and I didn’t think much of what I considered at the time to be a third-place guy in the primary. But I went anyway, and I was happy I did because I left that meeting thinking Bernie was a fresh shot in the arm which would be great if he could get through the primary process. Which he did without much struggle. And I became a Bernie Moreno supporter through his hard-earned efforts. I have seen him on several occasions since then and have been impressed with his natural charisma and love for hard work. He’s not a phony but a successful businessman who, like many people associated with President Trump, is getting into politics for all the right reasons. He wants to Make America Great Again. At that lunch meeting, I learned that Bernie was associated with Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA and was personal friends with Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle. So I quickly went from a “he doesn’t have a chance” to “he’s the right kind of guy” quickly, which is why it’s good to get to know some of these people. We all hear stories of politicians who get into the business for all the wrong reasons and become embarrassed by them once they are elected. So, I’m always interested in exceptional people who go way above and beyond to break that stereotype, so I came away from that first meeting with Bernie feeling great about him. There are a lot of bad politicians out there, and Bernie isn’t one of them.
One of the things we spoke about regarding the events that led up to the RNC Convention and his introducing J.D. Vance to the world as the VP for Trump was the dinner he had with Don Jr. just a few days before as we were talking about sincere people, and Don Jr. had taken the call from his daughter asking to speak at the Convention. There are many people in the world that Don Jr. could be having dinner with, but he was with Bernie. So Bernie has turned out to be the center of everything: MAGA. And as we were talking about all that had happened over the last several months since that first meeting, fresh from my trip to Japan, was how the Ohio race was shaping up. Sherrod Brown isn’t used to competition and has struggled with Trump’s MAGA movement. It’s been a problem for Brown for a long time because the unions are influential in the north, and Trump is good with them. Progressive politics doesn’t hold up well to Trump, leaving Brown to stay close and friendly to the President for his survival. But the Trump family heavily endorses Bernie Moreno, and Brown knows how difficult that makes things for him. So there is a panic in the Brown camp right now with the race being that close with several months to go and the Moreno team not spending any money yet. By September, when the NFL season starts, the Bernie ad money will kick in, and people all over the nation, especially in Ohio, will meet the Bernie Moreno I have come to know, and they will want to vote for him. He’s a good guy running for one of the most important seats in the nation. And Ohio is ground zero for MAGA policies that will help Pennsylvania and Michigan become great again as an improved labor market for manufacturing and fossil fuels.
So yes, there is more to Joe Biden dropping out of the race. They have seen all these internals, the things we have discussed in these important backyard meetings for a while now. And the reality is smashing them in the face, which I think is excellent. Democrats deserve to lose; they have been deceitful and malicious, and their policies have destroyed American manufacturing toward globalism in vicious ways that they deserve to pay dearly for. And, of course, Democrats can’t look in the mirror and apply blame to themselves; they think it’s because Biden has been a horrible president and that he is dragging down the ticket for all races, even dog catchers. But the truth is, Republicans just needed good people like Bernie Moreno and J.D. Vance, who were privately very successful before they got into politics, to run as options, and suddenly, MAGA Republican politics is a fresh breath of air for the future. And there aren’t many others across the country who are more MAGA than Bernie Moreno. I enjoyed speaking with him again and am excited to see him beat Sherrod Brown in Ohio for that critical Senate seat. Even Mitch McConnell is excited about Bernie as national fundraising for that seat has caught his eye, and he’s helping aggressively. Bernie is uniting people; when you meet him, it’s easy to see why. He’s a very likable person, and he’s smart. And it will be people like him who hold the future of America in their hands. After all that we’ve been through, it is wonderful to see. We deserve Bernie Moreno for all the good he is and will be once he wins that Senate seat from Sherrod Brown and the Democrats of doom and their policies that have destroyed so much. With Bernie, there is hope and a reason to think of the future in fresh, new ways.
