Vice President-elect J.D. Vance's resignation from the Senate will leave Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to appoint a replacement. Political analysts predict the decision will heavily influence the upcoming gubernatorial race. Several prominent Republicans, including Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted, former Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken, and former state senator Matt Dolan, are considered potential candidates.
CINCINNATI - With just days until Inauguration Day, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance is set to resign from the Senate, leaving Ohio Governor Mike DeWine with the task of appointing his replacement.
Several prominent Ohio Republicans are being considered as potential contenders to replace Vance. Niven believes that Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted, former Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken, and former state senator Matt Dolan are in the running as possible candidates. Niven believes Husted might be at the top of DeWine's list.
“I think it would fulfill a political handshake agreement when Husted dropped out of the governor’s race to become his running mate; there was an assumption this would translate into the governor’s support for Husted becoming governor.” Niven said.
