Governor DeWine to choose J.D. Vance's Senate replacement

Ohio Governor Working On Filling JD Vance's Senate Seat

Governor Mike DeWine is tasked with a significant decision: selecting a replacement for Senator JD Vance, who recently ascended to the vice presidency.

Ohio's political landscape is in flux as Governor DeWine prepares to appoint a senator to serve until 2026. The Columbus Dispatch reported that Vance's election to the vice presidency has vacated his U.S. Senate seat, just two years after his initial Senate victory.

Governor DeWine now holds the responsibility of appointing Vance's successor, who will serve alongside the newly elected Senator Bernie Moreno.

The appointee will assume office when Vance officially resigns, which is typically when new senators take their oaths in early January. This appointee will then serve until the 2026 elections, where Ohio voters will decide who will complete the final two years of Vance’s term.
