According to the projection, the Democrat wins the special election against Senator Husted, the report does not give vote shares.
The news agency AP projects Democrat Sherrod Brown as the winner of the Senate election in Ohio. According to this projection, he prevails over Republican Senator Jon Husted. This is reported by Scripps News, citing the AP, published on 4 November 2026 at 5:13 CET. The report does not give the time of the projection, vote shares or the state of the count. It is a projection, not an official final result.
It is a special election. Husted was appointed in January 2025 after JD Vance became vice president. According to Scripps, Brown takes over the rest of the term until January 2029.
After Texas, Ohio is the second of the seven key races with an AP projection. The seat has so far been in Republican hands. The calculation under Senate and the bars on election night still show the election-day forecasts.
