Could Sherrod Brown have a chance in the Ohio Senate Race?
The Texas Senate race appears to be tightening as it enters the final stretch, but what do the numbers really show? The Hill’s Bill Sammon and Chris Stirewalt examine what voters should watch beyond the polling margins and whether James Talarico can hold his ground against Ken Paxton.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Ohio race as more competitive than a casual reading might suggest, with The Hill explicitly saying Sherrod Brown may be stronger than he first appears and that the data points to a closer contest. Newsweek takes a different angle, centering Sherrod Brown’s comeback on the role of socialist candidate Greg Levy, who appears only in its extract. The shared focus is Brown’s prospects, but The Hill emphasizes polling and data while Newsweek emphasizes a complicating candidate.
