Ohio GOP Senate challenger reacts to polls showing dead heat in critical Senate race: 'Radical liberal'

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno spoke to Fox News Digital on the campaign trail about why he believes that recent polls are showing him essentially in a dead heat within the margin of error with incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown after months of trailing him.

“It’s time for a change,” told Fox News Digital outside the Franklin County Board of Elections where Ohio Republicans encouraged voters to cast their votes early as part of former President Trump’s “Swamp the Vote” platform.

“Give Republicans a chance to govern and we’re going to make your lives better. Look, Sherrod Brown has seen 200,000 manufacturing jobs leave this state in his 30 years in D.C. And I’ll end with this. And I hope it’s the lead story in every one of your reports. Go back to 1992. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown ran on two promises. He made two promises, think about this, guys, he made two promises to the American people, to the people of Ohio, term limits and restore manufacturing.”

Moreno continued, “200,000 manufacturing jobs lost and he said that anybody who’s in Washington, D.C., for more than ten years is a crook. Take him for his word.”

“We started advertising, that’s number one,” Moreno said about why he believes the polls have tightened in the Ohio senate race.

“Sherrod Brown spent the fortune over the summer saying that he’d cure cancer. The other half said, I cause cancer. Of course. Neither one is true. We started advertising. We didn’t take personal shots because we won’t do that. Our campaign is simple. Look at his voting record.”

Moreno pointed to Brown voting with Biden nearly 100% of the time and said he “stabbed Trump in the back” multiple times when voting for amendments.

A Washington Post poll released this week conducted between October 3rd and 7th found that Brown leads Moreno 48-47 well within the margin of error of 3.5 points after Brown has led by a greater margin in most of the polling so far.

“He’s somebody who’s completely different in Washington, D.C.,” Moreno said of Brown who has been running ads promising to work with presidents of any party and touting his record on illegal immigration in a state where Trump won by 8 points in 2020.

“I have senators like Senator Hagerty,” Moreno said while standing next to Sen. Bill Hagerty in front of the Moreno campaign bus. “Who has been with me since the beginning of this campaign during the primary, who look and go, ‘who’s this guy on TV? He looks a lot like Sherrod Brown, but it can’t be Sherrod Brown because the guy I know in Washington, D.C., is a radical liberal. The guy on TV is something completely different.’ But that’s what we see. And I think as people see that exposure. We’re now tied in the polls. But he’s at 46%. Look, we’re going to win.“

Many experts believe the Ohio Senate race will play a critical role in determining which party controls the Senate next year and the Cook Political Report ranks the race as a “toss up.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the Brown campaign for comment but did not receive a response.

Indy 500 qualifying format, schedule, entries, how to watch this weekend

Qualifying for the 110th Indianapolis 500 will take place on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17.
The qualifying format has been altered for this year’s event to set the 33-car starting grid.
Katherine Legge aims to be the first woman to attempt “The Double,” racing in the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.

All eyes will be on Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for two days of qualifying that will determine the pole winner and set the full lineup for the 110th running of the Indy 500.

This year provides even more intrigue with changes to the qualifying format and because multiple drivers will take the first step toward potential history-making endeavors.

The events begin May 15 with Fast Friday practice sessions as drivers will run full speeds at the Brickyard to gear up for qualifying sessions the next two days. Then the pressure really kicks in Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17 as drivers lock in their spots on the starting grid for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” on Sunday, May 24.

Among the drivers who will be behind the wheels of Indy cars this weekend are two who are seeking to make history.

Four-time Indianapolis 500 champion Helio Castroneves is back, trying to become the first driver to win the iconic race five times. The Brazilian driver, who celebrated his 51st birthday on May 10, won the Indy 500 back-to-back in 2001 and 2002, again in 2009 and then in 2021 to tie A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears for most wins all time.

Meanwhile, Katherine Legge has a different, but equally epic, historic opportunity. The 45-year-old British driver announced earlier this week that she will attempt “The Double” this year: racing in the Indy 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Only five drivers have ever attempted “The Double” – John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson – and Legge would be the first woman.

Indy 500 2026 qualfying format

Qualifying for the 110th Indy 500 begins Saturday when all drivers will take four consecutive laps around Indianapolis Motor Speedway. At the conclusion of the day, positions 16 through 33 will be set on the starting grid.
The top nine fastest drivers on the first day will be locked into the Top 12 qualifying session on Day Two Sunday.
Cars ranked 10-15 in Saturday’s qualifying session will advance to the Final 15 round Sunday and will have the opportunity to compete for the three spots remaining to fill the Top 12 round. Starting in reverse order of Saturday’s qualifying speeds, each of the six cars will have one attempt to post a four-lap qualifying time starting at 4 p.m. ET, with the fastest three advancing to the Top 12 round. The three that don’t advance will slot in positions 13-15 on the grid.
At approximately 5 p.m. ET Sunday, the Top 12 qualifying round will begin in order of slowest to fastest cars from previous sessions, with the best six advancing to the Firestone Fast Six, which will determine the pole winner and the first two rows on the Indy 500 starting grid. The six that don’t advance will start on rows three and four.
