Sherrod Brown launches Senate comeback bid in Ohio for 2026
Sherrod Brown aims to reclaim his Senate seat by targeting incumbent Jon Husted in a critical 2026 Ohio race crucial for Democrats seeking to regain Senate control.
- On Monday, Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, launched his 2026 Senate campaign, challenging Sen. Jon Husted, who was appointed after J.D. Vance became vice president.
- Encouraged by constituent appeals and Chuck Schumer’s lobbying, Brown reversed his earlier decision, saying he only decided after last month’s tax bill vote.
- Brown criticized current policies, saying `For the past eight months, all they've done is make things worse for Ohioans, handing over your hard-earned money to corporations and to billionaires` and warned that 490,000 Ohioans may lose Medicaid coverage.
- Husted’s campaign responded swiftly, saying Ohioans face a "clear choice" in 2026, with Tyson Shepard branding Brown a 'handpicked' Schumer candidate in a 53-47 Senate.
- Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifted its rating of the Ohio race from 'likely Republican' to 'leans Republican' after Brown’s announcement, as the November 2026 special election winner will serve Vance’s remaining term through 2028.
