GOP Ohio governor campaign is shaping up to become a three-way race between ex-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Treasurer Robert Sprague, and Attorney General Dave Yost.

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted was sworn in as Ohio's newest U.S. senator Tuesday, just one day after his predecessor became vice president of the United States. Vice President JD Vance administered the oath to Husted during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol attended by Husted's family, Gov. Mike DeWine and Sen. Bernie Moreno.

In order to keep the Senate job, Husted will have to win a 2026 special election to fill the last two years of the term JD Vance vacated to become vice-president, then seek a full-six year term in 2028.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted is Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s pick to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the U.S. Senate.

The state’s governor, Mike DeWine, announced the appointment Friday, ending suspense over who would succeed the vice president-elect in the Senate.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is expected to name Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to fill the Senate seat that Vice President-elect JD Vance is vacating, multiple sources tell CBS News.

James Cauthen, a 54-year-old fire chief with Coweta County Fire in Georgia, was shot and killed while helping drivers who hit a deer in Alabama.
