Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, won back a U.S. Senate seat from Ohio on November 3, 2026, defeating appointed Republican incumbent Jon Husted. CBS News and the Associated Press projected Brown the winner on election night, according to Axios and CBS News reporting; one early report had Brown leading with 87% of ballots counted.
Brown lost his previous Senate seat in 2024, falling to Republican Bernie Moreno by less than four points even as Trump carried Ohio by double digits. Husted, Ohio's former lieutenant governor, had been appointed to the seat after JD Vance resigned to become vice president, meaning the winner serves only the remainder of Vance's term before facing voters again in 2028. The race drew more than $200 million in advertising, with Brown campaigning on AI-driven data center costs and energy prices while Husted tied himself to the Trump administration. Brown's win returned the seat to Democratic control for the first time since his 2024 defeat.
