Brown is seeking reelection against Republican businessman Bernie Moreno in the nation's costliest U.S. Senate race. Republicans and Democrats spent nearly $477 million on the race, according to AdImpact, making it the most expensive non-presidential contest on record.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, the Democratic Party’s mainstay in the red state of Ohio, has been ousted from the Senate by MAGA Republican Bernie Moreno. Moreno’s win, which was called by the Associated Press at 11:27 p.m. EST, all but ensures Republicans will take control of the Senate.
