Spectrum 1: How Tuesday’s election could impact Ohio’s U.S. Senate race
Political scientist Davin Niven comments on upcoming Ohio Senate race
Ohio U.S. Senate candidates Jane Timken and Morgan Harper confident about the state of their campaigns, even though they are in opposing parties.
“If Democrats are going to suffer any difficulties in Virginia and New Jersey, that just makes Ohio that much taller a task for them to handle,” said David Niven, a professor of political science at the University of Cincinnati.
On election night, Republican Mike Carey easily won a special congressional race in central Ohio that was centered on Trump’s endorsement.
Niven said Ohio Democrats have to figure out how to win over voters in suburbs and rural communities, something McAuliffe struggled to do in Virginia.
