Sherrod Brown won Ohio’s Senate race despite more than $64 million in crypto industry spending, journalist Eleanor Terrett reported. Pro-crypto Republican Representatives Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn and Ann Wagner lost their seats, while pro-crypto Senator Pete Ricketts won in Nebraska and Representative Andy Barr won Kentucky’s Senate race.
Why it matters
The results show that crypto industry spending did not guarantee victories for candidates identified as pro-crypto. The election outcomes were mixed, rather than a uniform setback for those candidates.
Market impact
Terrett expects Tim Scott to become the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee following the shift in Senate control. The race involving French Hill had not been called at the time of her post.
