What will happen to J.D. Vance’s Ohio U.S. Senate seat?
This article first appeared on Ohio Capital Journal.
Ohio U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance will become the next vice president, thus creating a vacancy in the U.S. Senate.
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate Vance defeated Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the presidential election that was called Wednesday morning by the Associated Press. Vance will have to resign from his Senate seat before being sworn in as vice president during Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.
It is now up to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to pick a Republican to fill Vance’s open Senate seat until a special election is held in 2026. Whoever DeWine appoints must run in the 2026 special election if they want to keep their seat.
Vance is currently serving his first term in the U.S. Senate after being elected over Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan in 2022. Whoever wins the 2026 special election will serve the remainder of Vance’s term, which expires in 2028.
Invitation to join the RESULTS Central Ohio Team
RESULTS is an organization where everyday people advocate for a world free of poverty and oppression. We have campaigns that address domestic poverty issues and global crises. In the US, we are advocating for making the Expanded Child Tax Credit permanent and a Renters Tax Credit. Globally, we support ending tuberculosis, promoting maternal and child health and nutrition, and global education. RESULTS has proven to us that we can make a difference! RESULTS has taught us how to meet with and influence our members of Congress, get published, and reach out to our community to bring them into action. Last year, despite the unprecedented challenges we all faced, we made excellent progress on issues we care about. Advocacy keeps us hopeful! 2024 is ripe with opportunities to make a difference on the changes we need in our community, and the world, to end poverty. If you’re tired of feeling helpless check out the RESULTS group in Central Ohio. Get connected to people who are learning together and taking action that makes a difference.
Millcreek Township: The Bellwether within a Bellwether (Within a Bellwether)
The election is just hours away, yet we likely won’t know the winner for a while. The electoral college has shifted all of the significance onto seven swing states, leaving the election up to a small percentage of our country. This article argues that the people who will decide this election is even smaller than seven swing states; it could be decided by a few thousand people in a small town in Pennsylvania called Millcreek Township.
