OH-Sen 2022: So you’re telling me there’s a chance

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Sherrod Brown won in a midterm Election and Ohio isn't a permanent R state, I can see a scenario where Ds will win this race

Ohio isn't IA with 3 C's Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus and I want Tim Ryan to win

I hope it's Tim Ryan v Josh Mandel, I don't think Jim Jordan runs

[Tekken_Guy]

Ryan is probably, and I emphasize that word, the best potential candidate Democrats have. Since his seat will probably get carved up in redistricting and only makes sense for him to run.

If Jim renacci sticks with his plan to primary do line, the Republican primary probably becomes a Mandel- Jordan race even if they are not the only declared candidates.

If Jordan wins, that's probably the only scenario where the race becomes somewhat competitive. But even then running against Ryan it's still probably somewhere between lean-to likely R given Ohio's painfully  rapid republican Trend and the fact it'll be a Biden midterm election.

I wish these things weren't true. It was bad enough having Jordan as my Congressman for several years , so the thought of him as my senator makes my skin crawl. Nevertheless, that doesn't make this glum prognosis any less real.

Wouldn’t Jim Jordan stay in the house to get his shot at the Judiciary chair?

[South Dakota Democrat]

LOTS of candidates looking at this race.

The most likely Republican candidates seem to be:

* Jon Husted, Lieutenant Governor and former Secretary of State
* Jim Jordan, Congressman and founding Freedom Caucus member
* Josh Mandel, former Treasurer of State and Senate candidate (2012)

He'd very likely win, unfortunately, but wouldn't it be cool to see him run and lose a senate race for the third time? Would probably be a record in Ohio at least.

Hasn't he only lost one statewide election (and thus this would be his second loss, not third, if he were to lose)?

I think people are sleeping on Betty Sutton. She has experience running for state wide office, and was Brown’s successor in the house, so they’re probably close. And Brown’s wife wants a woman to run. If there’s a candidate from Northeast Ohio I bet it’s her

Ah good point he did end up dropping out the second time.

I am all in for Fetterman, Jackson and Tim Ryan, Tim Ryan is the only one that can win this seat.

Betty Sutton ran for Gov and Lt Gov and have failed

Very good for republicans Jordan being the nominee is one of the only ways this race goes from Likely to Lean R but who knows Bullock and Hickenlooper denied they were running until the last minute.

Yeah, but they were running for president at the time. Jordan has a safe house seat.

Bullock and Hickenlooper didn't have anything else to run for, but Jordan will presumably run for reelection to the House.

Anyway, thank god.

[GALeftist]

Who is even left?

[Roll Roons]

Who is even left?

From the congressional delegation alone, Stivers, Turner, Joyce and Gonzalez are all possible. Maybe a row officer, with LaRose probably being the best option.

[KaiserDave]

Mandel is probably gonna run. Ugh. What a despicable individual.

Praised white nationalists and then never apologized when called out on it.

Not only that, but if the GOP takes the House back in 2022 I think that would make him chair of the House Judiciary Committee.

Gomez also says she's being encouraged by the local Dem establishment, so bad news for Tim Ryan. Meanwhile on the GOP side...

Tim Ryan seems like a much better bet than a doctor with an unvetted past.

But Dems aren't going to win here, so not a huge difference.

James Harrison says D's have an excellent chance to contest OH, PA, GA and NC

Biden has a 52 Percent approvals not 40 percent Trump and Clinton, Kennedy and Bush W all gained seats in Midterms when they had 50 approvals.

I'm sorry you're right. Please forgive me.

With Jordan out, Mandel and Renacci are probably the potential landmines left for the Rs. Stivers/Turner/LaRose would be heavily favored.
