Bernie Moreno, a blockchain entrepreneur, has flipped the seat in Ohio from blue to red, beating out the Democrat Sherrod Brown – marking a major win for the Republicans and for crypto. The result came as a major blow to the Democrats who had hopes of retaining control of the US Senate, with Brown having represented Ohio for almost two decades. Moreno, who was born in Colombia and moved to the United States aged five, has thanked those who voted: “I am so grateful to Ohioans for their resounding support in this race. “I look forward to working with the new Republican Senate majority to fix our economy, secure our border, and return to American strength at home and abroad.” Thank you, Ohio!
