Perhaps although since 2022 any Republican US Senate candidate has not been able to get a margin of victory exactly on par with Trump winning OH at the presidential level.
On the other hand, back in 2016 Senator Rob Portman got a 20.8% margin of victory in being re-elected back in that year, substantially larger than what Trump or any subsequent GOP Senate Candidates have been able to achieve. Of course, it didn't help that Ted Strickland was chosen as a Democratic Senate Candidate as he lost re-election as Governor back in 2010.
I would like to see Democrats at least aim for a similar turnout as they did in the 2018 Senate Election where Sherrod Brown won re-election by 6.8% points (not going to though count on a similar margin of victory as Brown got back then).
Sigh.
A lot can change in 20 months.
Yup, just not a great place to start from.
Fair enough, but counting on freakin Ohio is foolhardy for Democrats.

Tbf, itтАЩs not like thereтАЩs anywhere better we can count on to get us to 50 in the next 4 years.
Right. Whereupon we see how uphill an effort it is.
