Sherrod Brown Faces Tough Senate Re-Election Battle in Ohio

The race between Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Bernie Moreno could determine control of the U.S. Senate.

Sherrod Brown, a three-term Democratic senator, is fighting to retain his seat in a state that has increasingly leaned Republican, particularly in presidential elections.
The Ohio Senate race has become the most expensive in the country, with both parties pouring millions into the contest.
Brown is known for his strong ties to organized labor and his focus on issues like trade, pensions, and healthcare, while Moreno emphasizes border security and economic deregulation.
Abortion rights have become a central issue, with Brown supporting access and Moreno advocating for state-level regulation after previously supporting a federal ban.
Despite the high stakes, Brown and Moreno did not agree to any debates, leaving voters to rely on campaign ads and media coverage to understand their positions.
