Senate Candidate Shares His Immigrant Origin Story

Article Summary –

Bernie Moreno, a Republican running for the Senate in Ohio, is presenting himself as a self-made millionaire who rose from humble beginnings as an immigrant from Colombia. Critics argue that Moreno is downplaying his wealthy and politically connected background in Colombia, where his family continues to hold considerable power and status. They also note that Moreno’s narrative aligns with the political reality of the Trump-era Republican party, enhancing the party’s appeal to Latino voters and first-generation immigrants while also appealing to the working-class voter base in Ohio.
