Former Sen. Sherrod Brown won Ohio’s primary and will face unopposed Republican Jon Husted in November, setting up one of the cycle’s costliest Senate races as Democrats seek to flip the seat; Brown leads in fundraising and cash on hand, and both parties have booked enormous ad reservations, underscoring Ohio as a key battleground for control of the Senate.
Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Jon Husted won Ohio’s primaries, advancing to a high-profile November Senate race to fill the remainder of the term left by JD Vance. Husted ran unopposed; Brown faced a single challenger. The contest is expected to attract substantial outside spending as Democrats aim to flip seats and expand their Senate presence, with Ohio also featuring a key gubernatorial race and a vulnerable Rep. Marcy Kaptur race.
Former Sen. Sherrod Brown won the Democratic nomination in Ohio’s special Senate race, clearing the path to a costly general election showdown against Republican Jon Husted. Brown, making a comeback after a 2024 loss, was recruited by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and enters a race anticipated to be among the most expensive in the country. Brown held an early fundraising edge, but outside money is expected to flood the race. Both candidates released their first TV ads: Husted’s spot emphasizes his background and job growth while drawing contrasts with Brown, with the ad noting Epstein-linked donations; Brown’s ad does not feature him. The Ohio contest is viewed as a key pickup opportunity for Democrats in their bid to regain Senate control.
