Brown Holds Edge In Ohio As LaRose Enters Crucial Senate Race

US

Ohio Republican Frank LaRose has become the third Republican candidate to enter the crucial Ohio Senate race. LaRose will join businessman Bernie Morena and State Senator Matt Dolan in a bid to unseat Democrat incumbent veteran Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

  • A new survey from USA Today, Suffolk University, has found that, “Ohio will help determine which party gains control of the U.S. Senate in 2024, but it's poised to play a much smaller role in the race for president.”
  • The poll finds that, “Brown maintained a slight edge over his potential Republican opponents as he heads into a contentious reelection bid. The same survey showed Ohioans once again supporting former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in a 2024 rematch.”
  • Brown is considered one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats in 2024 but maintains broad appeal in the state despite a sustained shift to the GOP.
