AINews Summary

Ohio’s Senate race is set: Sherrod Brown won the Democratic nomination and will face Republican Sen. Jon Husted. Brown is also adjusting his crypto message as outside spending is expected to matter again. The Ohio primary finalized other major nominees, including Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy for governor. The Senate matchup is now set, which reduces uncertainty. The crypto spending angle could add pressure on Brown, but the summaries do not show a clear shift in the race yet.
