Veteran politicians Sherrod Brown, Jon Husted compete for Ohio Senate seat once held by Vance
Campaigns and outside groups have spent more than $500 million in the contest, with control of the Senate at stake.
- On Tuesday, Ohio voters decide between Republican Sen. Jon Husted and Democrat Sherrod Brown in one of the nation's most expensive Senate races. The winner will serve the final two years of a six-year term.
- Governor Mike DeWine appointed Husted to the seat in 2025 after Vice President JD Vance vacated it to become vice president. Brown, ousted from the Senate two years ago by Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno, seeks a political comeback.
- Husted promotes his vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill, citing tax cuts to reduce inflation and lower consumer costs. Brown argues Republican tax cuts have driven up the cost of living and says he would oppose cuts for wealthy corporations.
- Spending in the race has exceeded $500 million, with the Republican-aligned Senate Leadership Fund political action committee releasing an ad falsely claiming Brown "voted to give Social Security to illegal immigrants." The ad portrays him as out of touch.
- Most polls show Brown leading, with a New York Times/Siena survey released Sunday showing Brown at 49% and Husted at 44% ahead of Tuesday's election. Analysts view the race as a bellwether for control of the U.S. Senate.
