Note every Ohio Democrat lost by 3-5 points other than Sherrod Brown in 2018.
Sprague (the Treasurer) actually won by over 6 points, so he overperformed a bit compared to the others.
Though notably there was some regional advantages that some of the candidates had. Kathleen Clyde eked out a win in her home Portage County while all the other non-Brown Democrats lost it. Dave Yost vastly overperformed in the northern Columbus ‘burbs and Delaware County.
Yeah of course . Zach space also did good in his old Appalachian district. Overall its actually quite similar to VA 2021 except in reverse.
