For those people who are telling me that US Senator Sherrod Brown(D-OH) is safe.

Sherrod Brown can lose in a Republican wave election year against a strong Republican nominee. Sherrod Brown won both of his US Senate re-election races by a 6 percent margin against Josh Mandel-R who is likely to join Sherrod Brown in the US Senate and Jim Renacci-R.
The Republicans are going to nominate their best candidate- John Kasich who is less likely to run. The next choice for the Republicans are former Lt Gov. Mary Taylor or current Lt.Gov. Jon Husted. Attorney General David Yost, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, Treasurer Robert Sprague or Auditor Keith Faber. Statewide Elected officials. All of these Republicans except Kasich-R won their elections by a less than 5 percent margin. US House members that could give Brown a tough race- US Representative Mike Turner, Troy Balderson, David Joyce, or Anthony Gonzalez. Sherrod Brown is neither safe nor vulnerable.

2024 is a Presidential Election year. If Biden and Harris are unpopular in 2024 nationally, they are not going to win the popular vote in OH. In 2012, Obama carried OH by a 3 percent margin.
Brown-D won re-election in 2012 by a 6 percent margin. Brown is going to win by a 1 to 5 percent margin. The only Republican that could defeat Brown is Kasich.
Brown’s approval/disapproval rating is 42-28-30. It is higher than Portman’s which is 34-29-37.
Who are the Trump/Brown voters? Brown is the anti Trump on Economic and Social Issues.
