Ohio Senate race becomes a test of Democratic gains in red America
Several shows discuss polling that puts Democrat Sherrod Brown 3 points ahead of Republican Jon Husted in Ohio’s Senate race.[1][2][3]
On The Daily, Nate Cohn says Democrats have a candidate-quality advantage in Ohio, while The NPR Politics Podcast describes the state as a toss-up.[2][4]
The Headlines says Ohio is among 5 red states where Democrats are highly competitive, and The Journal begins its midterm series in Ohio.[5][6]
On Breaking Points, Logan Phillips argues Ohio is no longer the same state it was in 2008, while Katty Kay says polling in Ohio and other red states may overstate Democratic strength.[7][8]
Other shows mention Ohio in separate contexts, including a Supreme Court religious-liberty case, a rally involving Vivek Ramaswamy, and a call to vote in the state.[9][10][11]
