Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown projected to return to Senate

Sherrod Brown, the Ohio Democrat who was voted out of office two years ago, is projected to defeat Sen. Jon Husted, and return to the Senate.

Brown is breaking some historical trends by returning to the Senate just two years after losing his seat as only six senators have returned after losing an election since 1946.

Ossoff makes gains in this year's race, Voter Polls show

Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, who narrowly won his Senate seat in a runoff election in 2021, earned more support from Georgia voters in this year’s race, according to ABC Voter Polls.

The incumbent, who is projected to win reelection, won the support of around 6 in 10 voters across the state, according to ABC Voter Polls.

Voters under the age of 65 helped propel Ossoff to victory, according to ABC News Voter Polls. Nearly 9 in 10 voters between the ages of 18-24 voted for Ossoff, while roughly 8 in 10 between the ages of 25-29 did the same. Voters between the ages of 50-64 were roughly evenly split between Ossoff and his Republican challenger, Mike Collins, while voters ages 65 and older favored Collins by about 10 percentage points.
