Decision Desk HQ projected Democrat Sherrod Brown the winner in Ohio’s U.S. Senate special election at 11:15 pm ET, according to a post on X cited by The Gateway Pundit.
The call
The outlet embedded an X post from Decision Desk HQ stating it had called the Ohio U.S. Senate special election for Brown at 11:15 pm ET. The post linked to live results.
Brown’s post came first
The Gateway Pundit reported that Brown declared victory minutes before the projection. On X, @SherrodBrown wrote: “This victory belongs to all of us. Thank you, Ohio.”
How the outlet framed it
The Gateway Pundit wrote that Republican Jon Husted lost to Brown and described the result as a Democratic flip. The outlet also stated Brown was the fourth Democrat to flip a Senate seat on Tuesday.
