Democrats have an excellent track record of overperforming in special elections. We need to launch high-intensity efforts to capture whatever House and Senate seats are vacated by Trump’s appointments.
He lost both the 2022 and 2024 primaries because he was seen as not pro-Trump enough. How he actually does in office will be another question entirely, of course.
But DeWine isn’t really MAGA and doesn’t have much incentive (at present) to pick someone from that crowd.

Any special election for Vance's seat wouldn't be until 2026; DeWine will appoint someone to serve until then.
I think it’s a safe bet that Governor DeWine won’t be appointing Sherrod Brown.

I'd expect him to appoint Matt Dolan.
Hopefully, he’s not a total MAGA maniac

Privately, I'm pretty sure DeWine says the same things about Trump that we do.
He might appoint his own son (depending on whether his son wants it)
