Ohio GOP Senate candidate and businessman Bernie Moreno has exited the crowded field of contenders after meeting with former President Trump.
The luxury car dealer and blockchain executive was among the leading Republican candidates competing to replace retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman.
Moreno had already put millions of dollars into his campaign before meeting Thursday with Trump, according to the Columbus Dispatch newspaper.
The former president still holds considerable influence over the party and picking midterm candidates, as Republicans appear poised to retake the House and perhaps even the Senate.
