Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a contentious 2022 midterm cycle from coast to coast, when both chambers of Congress and 36 governors’ mansions will be up for grabs.
“I came from a country surrounded by the ideology of radicals like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara who promised to give everyone all they needed and solve all their problems just like Bernie Sanders and AOC are doing today,” said Moreno, who came to the U.S. as a child from Colombia.
“That’s the exact opposite of American democracy and the American dream. But Biden, Harris, the extreme left, their allies in the media, big tech and universities push socialism at every turn, using cancel culture to completely silence us,” he added.
Moreno is just the latest Republican to throw his hat in the ring to replace Portman, who will be leaving the Senate at the end of his second term in 2023.
