Democratic former Sen. Sherrod Brown has prevailed in one of the year’s most combative and expensive Senate races, beating Republican incumbent Jon Husted, NBC News projects.

Brown, who in 2024 lost his bid for a fourth term, will return to the chamber and serve the remaining two years of the six-year term that JD Vance won in 2022 and left after being elected vice president.
