Two days before Election Day, Radell runs through every major race on the Ohio ballot in one episode: the U.S. Senate special election, the governor's race, and all 15 congressional districts.
The Senate special election for the seat JD Vance vacated pits former Sen. Sherrod Brown against Sen. Jon Husted. Radell walks through the late polling averages, why Brown has always been viewed as the Democrats' strongest pickup chance in Ohio, and the questions Husted faces over the FirstEnergy scandal.
The governor's race between Dr. Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy gets the longest segment. Radell covers the spread of recent public polls, Ramaswamy's path from the 2024 presidential primary to DOGE to this race, the H-1B controversy, his shifting position on AI data centers, and the ad his campaign ran featuring Acton's estranged mother, which Gov. Mike DeWine publicly urged him to take down. Radell also gives his criticism of Acton for declining to debate.
Then the full congressional map: Greg Landsman vs. Eric Conroy in OH-1, David Taylor vs. Jen Mazzuckelli in OH-2, Joyce Beatty vs. Cleophus Dulaney in OH-3, Jim Jordan vs. Joshua Kolasinski in OH-4, Bob Latta vs. Brian Shaver in OH-5, Michael Rulli vs. Elizabeth Kirtley in OH-6, Max Miller vs. Brian Poindexter in OH-7, Warren Davidson vs. Vanessa Enoch in OH-8, Marcy Kaptur vs. Derek Merrin in OH-9, Mike Turner vs. Kristina Knickerbocker in OH-10, Shontel Brown vs. Mike Kirchner in OH-11, Troy Balderson vs. Jerrad Christian in OH-12, Emilia Sykes vs. Carey Coleman in OH-13, Dave Joyce vs. Maria Jukic in OH-14, and Mike Carey vs. Don Leonard in OH-15. The episode closes on the two Ohio Supreme Court seats and the statewide row offices, including Secretary of State.
This episode includes Radell's personal take on several races, clearly his own read.
