Senate comeback bid and Trump impeachment stance signal geopolitical relevance.
Context
What happened: Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat running to regain an Ohio Senate seat, said he would not support impeaching President Donald Trump, telling The Columbus Dispatch there is no reason for it regardless of midterm results.
Key numbers: Brown served in the Senate from early 2007 until early 2025 and lost his 2024 race to Republican Bernie Moreno.
Why it matters: A Husted campaign spokesperson said Brown sided with his party twice to impeach Trump during his first term and is now masquerading as a moderate. Trump has endorsed Husted, while Barack Obama backs Brown.
