BREAKING: GOP Gains the Senate Majority By Flipping Ohio Seat

Fox News called Sen. Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) reelection battle on Tuesday night for his Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, giving the GOP 51 seats in the upper chamber.

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum reported, “Bernie Moreno, who started his entrepreneurial career in the car business and buying auto shops in Ohio, has won and unseated incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, who has been an Ohio institution for a lot of years. This is an important flip for Republicans. The party is edging closer to an outright Senate majority tonight, and there are still a couple of places yet to be heard from.”

“Right now about this. Now, if the Democrats would somehow hold on to the Jon Tester seat, that would be a different math. But as you look at the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, is this Moreno speaking right now? Can we go in there?” added Bret Baier as Fox cut to Moreno’s victory speech:

Today starts a new wave. You know, we talked about wanting a red wave. I think what we have tonight is a red, white and blue wave in this country. Because what we need in the United States of America is leaders in Washington, D.C., that actually put the interests of American citizens above all else. We’re tired of being treated like second-class citizens in our own country. We’re tired of leaders that think we’re garbage and we’re tired of being treated like garbage. You know, my opponent talked a lot about helping the working man, and I will agree with him on the need to help working Americans. But the difference is talk without action is nothing. So what we’re going to do, thanks to now having a Republican majority, by the way.

And Chuck Schumer, if you’re watching, thanks for the help in the primary, but you’re fired, buddy. This is a new dawn of Republican leadership. We’re President Trump and JD Vance in the White House. We are going to advance an agenda that is an American agenda, an agenda that says we are pro-immigration but not pro-invasion. We’re going to make certain that the people who come to this country are invited here, are invited here. Like I was like my family was on our terms.

“Bernie Moreno, the winner in the US Senate seat in Ohio. This is a major pickle for an incumbent senator and Sherrod Brown that ran ads that said he was, you know, at least working with former President Trump. He ran heavily on the issue of abortion and thought that they were going to make headway there. There were all kinds of polls, including the one we just talked about earlier, that had Democrats fired up about women in the Midwest,” Baier added, concluding:

Sherrod Brown won in 2006, 2012, and 2018. He was pro-labor. They thought he was safe at the beginning. This race was well run by Bernie Moreno, and this puts them closer to a Senate majority. He said it is a Senate majority. There’s still the possibility that Jon Tester holds on in Montana, although he was behind going in. Deb Fischer in Nebraska, we’re still watching that race very closely. But if they hold all of those, you could have a scenario where you’re looking at 52-48 [for Republicans].

UPDATE: Fox also projected Deb Fischer would win her reelection battle in Nebraska, giving the GOP 51 seats.

This is a developing story.
