The Latest: Brown wins Ohio Senate Democratic primary, Ramaswamy wins GOP nomination for governor

The primary election in Ohio has set up what is expected to be one of the most expensive races for U.S. Senate this year as Republicans try to hold on to the chamber, while biotech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy will face a challenge from the state’s former health director as he seeks to keep the governor’s office in GOP hands. In what promises to be one of November’s most high-profile races, former Sen. Sherrod Brown easily defeated a challenger Tuesday in the Ohio Democratic primary and will now attempt to unseat Republican Sen. Jon Husted. Elections were also held in Indiana and Michigan.
