Gov. Mike DeWine (R) is expected to announce that He is selecting Lt. Gov. Jon Husted (R), to fill the Senate Seat vacated by J.D. Vance (R). DeWine is expected to make the announcement at a Press Conference at 1p.m. on Friday.
Husted, who has had an extensive career in Ohio Politics, and served as Lieutenant Governor under DeWine since 2019. He previously served in the Ohio State House, State Senate, and as Secretary of State, in Ohio for eight years.
Husted was the subject of speculation about possible Senate Ambitions-in-2022, to succeed retiring Sen. Rob Portman (R), but He decided against it, to seek Re-Eelection as Lieutenant Governor.
Vance won that Seat and held it until He announced His Resignation from the Office last week, ahead of His Swearing in as Vice- President on Monday.
Husted will serve in the Position for at least roughly the next Two years, but will need to Run in a Special Election in 2026, if He is to serve the Full Remainder of Vance’s term. If He Wins, He would then be Up-for-Election for a Full Term again in 2028.
That Special Election has already stirred Speculation of possible Candidates, including: former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), who Lost to Sen. Bernie Moreno (R), for the State’s other Senate Seat in November, 2024.
Brown had previously served Three Terms in the Senate, representing the Hawkeye State and has said He wouldn’t Rule-Out Running again.
