As you know, Ohio is becoming very red and Sherrod Brown’s seat is going to be very difficult for the Dems to hold in the future. 2024 may provide Republicans the perfect opportunity to beat him as long as they get the right candidate. Who should the party choose to take him on?

If I were the GOP, I would run Troy Balderson. Ohio as a whole is trending R, but assuming Balderson hasn't lost re-election in 2020 or 2022, he'd show that he can appeal to D-trending suburbs. Brown's probably going to lose in 2024 anyway.

Kasich would've been the best choice in a Clinton midterm last year, but at this point, I'd say Balderson.

On the paper Husted is the best candidate, but he wants to be governor, not senator ; so I doubt he will run. Gonzalez and LaRose are probably the best alternatives.

This is the downfall of extreme gerrymandering in favor of your party: lack of competitive seats eliminates your bench of battle-tested candidates for higher office, especially when current statewide officials have their sights on other offices and/or private-sector roles.

Uh not really. Plenty of Ohio's districts were quite narrow presidentially in 2012 so they needed good candidates like Joyce to hold them

Turner and Stivers are two other examples of very strong candidates but neither seem interested by a Senate run

Mandell was on track to have a pretty good shot of beating him, so Mandell.

Any Republican will have a fairly good chance against Brown, sadly. Despite 2018 being a D+9 year, Brown won by about the same as he did in 2012, a D+2 year. Give Ohio another 6 years of trends, I don't see Brown being able to over perform the fundamentals of the state enough to win.

In 2006, where Bob Taft had a 5% approval rating.

Brown probably retires and is succeeded by Gonzalez. 

But maybe we’ll get a fun Turner vs Gonzalez race.

Husted is either going to be the next governor or he will go for this race (or possibly both).

Balderson is probably the backup option.

Kasich won't go for it, Husted will run for Governor instead. So I'm thinking it'll be a Balderson/Gonzalez battle for the chance of taking on Brown. I have no idea who wins that, both seem above average candidates and at this point both are more likely to win than not.

Brown will never retire, the only way he will leave senate is if he dies or if he loses.

If Biden is running for reelection,  it will be tough to dispatch Sherrod Brown
