Ohio’s U.S. Senate contest is between incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) and Bernie Moreno (R). The race is not only expected to be close, but could also determine which political party controls the Senate.
The U.S. Senate currently has a tight 51 to 49-seat majority held by Democrats. With Democratic senators from other states opting not to run for re-election, there is a risk that even one incumbent Democratic senator losing could allow Republicans to take control of the Senate, making the stakes particularly high for the Democratic incumbents in tight races, including Ohio’s Sen. Brown.
