Sherrod Brown has been in the US Senate since 2006. He defeated Mike DeWine in 2006 by a 12 percent margin, Josh Mandel in 2012 by a 6 percent margin, and John Rennacci in 2018 by a 7 percent margin. In 2024, I expect Brown to win re-election by a less than 5 percent margin.
In 2030, Brown will be 78 years old, 1 year older than Howard Metzenbaum was when he retired in 1994, 1 year older than John Glenn was when he retired in 1998, 4 years older than George Voinovich was when he retired in 2010. If Brown decides to run again in 2030 and wins, he will be the longest serving US Senator from OH.

Kaine-D vs Youngkin-R
Kaine-D vs Good-R(Pro MAGA Trump Republican US House Member) Good voted against a House resolution awarding Congressional Gold Medals to the Capital Police officers present at the 1/6/2021 riots. Good supported the 1/6/2021 rioters and impeaching Biden and Harris because he strongly believed that Trump won.
Northam-D vs Youngkin-R
Northam-D vs Good-R
Wexton-D vs Youngkin-R
Wexton-D vs Good-R
I will like to see Bob Good-R be the Republican nominee for the 2024 Virginia US Senate Election because he is gift that keeps giving.
Jen Kiggans will allow Democrats to win back the VA-2 US House seat.
Rob Wittman,Ben Cline,and Morgan Griffith are generic Republicans that represents safe Republican districts.
