Trump-endorsed businessman Bernie Moreno easily won the GOP senate primary in Ohio on Tuesday, and will face off against Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November.

What does it mean for the general election?

Tim, I can NEVER remember the name of this pod. I listened to the New Orleans live and agree. I vote for a rebrand.
I came here looking for Tim Miller content. I can only say, RUN TIM!!! Get as far away from these old people (I, too, am old) as you can because their taint will totally degrade your brand. The lady is a petulant scold who has a very perverse notion of propriety. (Who cares what Sen. Fetterman wears?!) The dude lost me when he started making excuses for BoBo Boebert and the theater fondle. I like Tim best on the Bulwark pod with Charlie. Hope he's there more often.
So, you want me to pay to listen about more hunter Biden bs? No thank you.
Holy hell... I would be mortified if my child supported Trump. I would be incredibly depressed wondering what I did wrong.
Funny how JVL had no idea his "BFF" Tim had been arrested back in the day.
What's the story behind the personal gym trainer who has a story somewhat akin to this tale. And are we to assume no homosexual activity took place to Falwell and Johan Carlos?
honestly. never heard this before, this is a great show
I love this pod. I so appreciate the humility you all exhibit. I'm a crazy liberal, and I feel like you're a moderating influence on me.
