Republican Bernie Moreno has defeated Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio's highly contested race for the state's Upper House seat, securing a key GOP pickup with 50.2% of the vote, compared to Brown's 46.3%, helping turn the chamber red.
Brown served for three terms and his loss underscores the trend of down-ballot races increasingly mirroring broader political shifts. However, there were many who split their ticket, as Donald Trump comfortably won the state race: He got over 55% of the votes to Harris' 43.9%.
