Who will fill JD’s senate seat?

[BabyBoomer50s]

Will DeWine appoint an interim senator or go straight to a special election. Anyone have insights?

 

[Rebel5soul]

Appointment. There's been talk of Ramaswamy but I don't see that. Vivek is an administrator, not a legislator.

Local

Local politics

Not my business...

A lottery would be nice: a premise proven?

Dewine will appoint (doubtful that Vivek will be the one imo )
https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-3521.02

When a vacancy occurs in the representation of this state in the senate of the United States by death, resignation, or otherwise, the vacancy shall be filled forthwith by appointment by the governor who may appoint some suitable person having the necessary qualifications for senator. The appointee shall hold office until the fifteenth day of December succeeding the next regular state election that occurs more than one hundred eighty days after the vacancy happens

Dewine should appoint Sherrod Brown to fill the seat.

Lol

 

[Chernosoth]

Drew Carey or the OSU football coach.

Just a "seat" I thought JD was a couch man.

I'm sure the progressive left will make good ground in red America in 2026. Just keep the shame and spite up as high as possible to white people and males because they are the problem with EVERYTHING and anyone who doesn't hate them is a racist, missogginy!!

Ohio has always had a split representation in the Senate. That should continue.

Nah, I think Ohio should fire the commie filth and put a proud US citizen in both seats.

If you're in Ohio, vote accordingly. If not, your opinion is noted and discarded.
