What happens when a sitting U.S. Senator ascends to the Vice Presidency? Ohio finds itself in uncharted territory, facing a special election to fill the void left by J.D. Vance's anticipated move to the nation's second-highest office. This unexpected turn of events has set the stage for a political scramble, with Governor Mike DeWine poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the interim leadership of the state.
The timeline is now taking shape following the 2024 United States Senate election in Ohio, held on November 5, 2024. Vance, a Republican, is expected to resign from his Senate seat to assume the Vice Presidency, potentially on January 20, 2025. According to Ohio law, specifically Ohio Revised Code, Title 35, Section 3521.02, this triggers a special election to fill the remainder of his term. That special election is slated for November 3, 2026, coinciding with the next regular state election.
