Husted

Donald Trump is holding a rally in Ohio to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Jon Husted, who is locked in a closely contested race against incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown. The appearance underscores how heavily Republicans are leaning on Trump's support in Ohio as the Senate contest tightens, with Brown defending a seat in a state that has trended conservative in recent election cycles.

Ohio Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown is running an ad aimed at Republican rival Jon Husted, using vulgar language to highlight Husted's remarks about poverty. The spot draws on comments Husted made about poor people and turns them against him as the Senate race heats up.

Crypto interests have mounted their largest political spending effort to date in Ohio's Senate race, pouring more than $30 million into the contest.

Although Brown has softened his past criticism of the crypto industry on the campaign trail, the spending push against him continues at record scale.

Sherrod Brown, campaigning in Toledo, criticized Jon Husted over data center development and economic policy, framing the issue as part of his broader economic pitch to Ohio voters. The two are rivals in Ohio's US Senate race, and Brown used the stop to draw a contrast on jobs, energy demands and who benefits from data center projects. Coverage centered on his attacks and the campaign's economic messaging.
