TL;DR Summary

In the Ohio Senate primary race, a Democratic group is spending $2.7 million on an ad promoting conservative candidate Bernie Moreno, backed by former President Donald Trump, in an effort to boost his appeal to conservative voters and potentially make him an easier opponent for the incumbent Democratic senator in the general election. This tactic reflects Democrats' ongoing strategy of meddling in Republican primaries, but it has become more complex given President Biden's focus on defending democracy from Trump-aligned Republicans like Moreno, who has embraced Trump's falsehoods about the 2020 election. The risk is that this meddling could undermine Biden's message and erode trust in elections, while also potentially leading to a Moreno victory in November.
