## Summary

Democrat Sherrod Brown has won a return to the US Senate, defeating Republican incumbent Jon Husted, according to Associated Press projections. The result is a setback for Republicans in a race seen as important to control of the Senate.

More than $500m was spent on advertising, making it the second most expensive Senate race of the midterm cycle and among the ten costliest non-presidential races in US history. Husted, appointed in 2025 to replace JD Vance, backed several of President Donald Trump’s policies; Brown campaigned on his ties to labour unions and working-class communities amid concerns about the cost of living. Brown will serve the remainder of Vance’s term, which ends in January 2029.
