U.S. Senate

U.S. Sen. Jon Husted has $2.6 million in cash on hand for his race to hold onto his seat next year, according to Federal Elections Commission financial disclosures.

Although the 2026 election cycle might feel far off, U.S. Sen. Jon Husted took Vice President JD Vance’s vacant seat just about three months ago.

Fledgling U.S. Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio launched a bid to retain his seat Wednesday with the backing of President Donald Trump.

In making his announcement, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said he wanted a "workhorse" in the U.S. senate who would focus on Ohio as well as the rest of the country.

The 39-year-old from Cincinnati had been weighing a campaign for Ohio governor in 2026 and hoped to build his policy portfolio as partner to billionaire Elon Musk leading a non-governmental effort to cut federal government spending, regulations and personnel.

The Democrat blasted the Washington establishment for bowing to Wall Street’s interest over workers, with painful results for places like his hometown of Mansfield, Ohio.

U.S. Sen.-elect Bernie Moreno will take office Jan. 3, two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Tuesday’s vote to return Republican former president Donald Trump to the White House has created an unusual situation for Gov. Mike DeWine.

Bernie Moreno, 57, who was born in Colombia, will be the first Latino to represent Ohio in the Senate.

The seat held by Ohio's Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown is closely watched because it could change the balance of that body.
