Sherrod Brown against Republican businessman Bernie Moreno in pursuit of a pivotal seat as both parties look to control the chamber for the next two years. The outcome is among the most important nationwide, with control of the Senate potentially hanging in the balance, as it became one of the most expensive races in the country. Brown, chair of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and a member of multiple other committees, was seeking his fourth term. The 71-year-old ran on a platform that emphasizes a pro-worker message, fair trade and abortion rights. Notably, he's also run to the right of his party on issues like immigration and border security. Critics targeted his record of voting with President Joe Biden and his stance on transgender issues, also accusing him of being soft on the border. Brown distanced himself from the Democratic Party in the leadup to the election, declining to attend its convention and being one of the first senators to call on Biden to step aside from the presidential race. Moreno, a Columbian immigrant who went on to become a multimillionaire through a line of car dealerships before becoming a tech executive, won the Republican primary with help from former President Donald Trump's endorsement. He has aligned himself with the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. Top issues Moreno ran on include securing the border and getting "career politicians" out of Washington. Critics of the 57-year-old pointed out a series of lawsuits filed against him throughout his time as a businessman, including wage theft, discrimination and failing to honor an agreement with a friend and business associate. He's also been accused of flipflopping on issues, and drew fire in September for calling women who are single-issue voters on abortion "crazy."
