CNN PROJECTION: J.D. Vance, a Republican who has embraced Trumpism, will win the Senate race in Ohio, defeating Democrat Tim Ryan
JD Vance arrives at a polling location in Cincinnati earlier in the day on Tuesday.
Vance continues a long line of Republican victories in a state that has tilted towards the party in recent years. Other than Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, no Democrat has won nonjudicial statewide office in the state since 2008 and former President Barack Obama was the last Democratic presidential nominee to win the state in 2012.
“These leaders in DC will eat you up like a chew toy,” Ryan said of Vance’s support for Trump, even after the former president publicly accused him of “kissing my ass” to get him to campaign for him. “I am just telling you, like, I have been in this business, it is tough business. If you think you are going to help Ohio, you are not.
