Story summary

Former Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat running for a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio after losing the 2024 election to Republican Bernie Moreno, stated that if Democrats win control of the House in the upcoming midterms, he would not support impeaching President Donald Trump. Brown told The Columbus Dispatch on October 9, "There's just simply no reason for that, no matter what happens in the midterms." Currently, Brown is facing incumbent Senator Jon Husted, R-Ohio, in a special Senate election. A spokesperson for Husted's campaign criticized Brown for voting to impeach Trump twice during his first term and now allegedly backtracking on impeachment support.
