"AP Investigation Reveals Discrimination Suits Against Trump-Backed Ohio Senate Candidate Moreno"

Bernie Moreno, a Trump-backed candidate for Ohio’s U.S. Senate seat, faced multiple discrimination lawsuits against his business, including allegations of gender, age, and race discrimination. The lawsuits were settled out of court, and terms were kept private. Moreno's endorsements include former President Donald Trump, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, and former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell. The winner of the GOP primary will face Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown. Moreno's campaign spokesman emphasized his commitment to equal opportunities for all workers, while a business law professor noted that multiple lawsuits don't necessarily indicate systemic issues. In response to the AP's reporting, the Moreno campaign produced an open letter signed by former female employees vouching for his fair and respectful treatment.
