Democrat Sherrod Brown won Ohio’s special election for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, defeating Republican Sen. Jon Husted and returning to the chamber after losing his seat two years ago, The Associated Press projected.
AP called the race for Brown at 8:10 p.m. Pacific.
With an estimated 87% of the vote counted, Brown had 2,011,198 votes, or 48.6%, compared with Husted’s 1,921,992 votes, or 46.5%.
Libertarian William B. Redpath had 2.8%, while independent Greg Levy had 2%.
Brown previously represented Ohio in the Senate for three terms before Republican Bernie Moreno defeated him in 2024.
Husted was appointed to the Senate in 2025 by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine to fill the vacancy created when JD Vance became vice president.
The winner of Tuesday’s special election will serve the remaining two years of the term.
