Which offices can Ohio Democrats win in 2022 and beyond?

[Frenchrepublican]

None. Ohio is the new Missouri.

Missouri elected a Democrat in a statewide race last year...

The democrat you are referring was nominated by a D governor, fortunately Ohio dems won’t be able to steal any statewide office as Corday has lost

I can only see Ohio sen 2024, and that is if Trump wins reelection.

So now Brown is the underdog

2022 Predictions:

Governor:  Andrew Ginther
Senator:  Tim Ryan
Lt. Governor:  John Cranley
Attorney General:  Tina Maharath
Treasurer:  Wade Kapszukiewicz
Secretary of State:  Crystal Lett

Tina Maharath killed someone in a hit and run.  Her election was a total fluke where the Dem got booted from the ballot and she was the only person left.  And even then, she only won b/c of the Democratic wave.  She’s got no shot at statewide office.

If Jim Jordan becomes the GOP nominee for GOV and Democrats forgo running a candidate in favor of endorsing a "moderate" bid from Kasich Republicans, the "de-facto" Democrat candidate wins. Democrats have a chance as well in Tim Ryan vs. Jim Jordan.

Rob Portman beats Tim Ryan without a D wave. Row offices are the GOP's to lose. Finally if the GOP primary for GOV goes the way of the moderate/good government/DeWine wing of the party then it's Indiana 2020.

This is one of the stupidest goddamn things I have ever read. But hey, Jim Renacci will probably run against DeWine in the primary, which is just about as stupid, so who knows.

And it really all depends. If Renacci beats DeWine, the Governor's office should be winnable. The AG and SOS office seem very secure, but I think we could peel off the Auditor and Treasurer's offices, at least theoretically. Portman would be very, very hard to take out, but I could see him potentially retiring since both Toomey and Johnson are. Tim Ryan almost certainly will run for some statewide office since his seat is all but certainly going to be dismantled.

It passed under my radar but they flipped one of two state supreme court seats up for election this cycle (beating one incumbent 55-45 while losing to the other 45-55).

Yeah, but Supreme Court candidates are not running with a partisan label, most people are voting without having any information on the candidates in question, sometimes it can lead to weird situations, for example in 2018 the candidate who was backed by the democratic party, and who won statewide, lost Mahoning but won many counties in Western Ohio where Cordray barely won one third of the vote, the explanation is that the liberal candidate had a German name while the conservative one had a Italian name

There is certainly a fair bit more flexibility than in your average row office contest, but it's not a completely nonpartisan election anymore - the candidates advanced through Democratic and Republican primaries this year.

They have no party label after their name, so unless you are a very partisan / well-informed person you don't know who is the liberal candidate and who is the conservative one

Is it possible that people who vote on election day don't know who the SC candidates are and just leave it blank while people who vote by mail have time to research? Also, is there a map of the SC election results somewhere?

[GALeftist]

Brown might hold on in 2024 if he's very lucky and maybe Tim Ryan gets governor if DeWine is primaried by some loon (Brown is an underdog and that Ryan scenario is an edge case). Outside of that, absolutely no chance.

If he’s against someone like Jim Jordan, Brown can still win. But against an Anthony Gonzalez-type he probably loses.
