About our Bernie Moreno news
Latest news on Bernie Moreno, Republican U.S. Senator from Ohio, Colombian-American businessman and former car dealership owner who defeated Sherrod Brown in 2024.
Bernie Moreno made history in January 2025 as one of the first two Colombian-American U.S. senators, alongside Ruben Gallego of Arizona. After defeating incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown with 50.09% of the vote in November 2024, Moreno became Ohio's senior senator following J.D. Vance's resignation to assume the vice presidency.
Moreno's positions include strong support for Donald Trump's agenda, despite previously criticising him in 2016. He advocates for stricter immigration policies, including ending birthright citizenship and completing the border wall, though he previously supported pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. On foreign policy, he opposes continued aid to Ukraine and has expressed strong support for Israel.
The senator's business background includes running successful car dealerships in the Greater Cleveland area before transitioning to blockchain technology ventures. His campaign faced controversy over wage theft lawsuits, discrimination allegations, and questions about his educational credentials, though these did not prevent his electoral victory.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1967, Moreno immigrated to Florida with his family at age five and became a U.S. citizen at 18. He graduated from the University of Michigan before beginning his business career. His family connections include his brother Luis Alberto Moreno, a former Colombian Ambassador to the United States, and his son-in-law, Congressman Max Miller.
