Gov. Mike DeWine hasn’t announced who he will appoint, but sources said the Senate seat is likely Lt. Gov. Jon Husted’s if he wants it.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted is the frontrunner to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance in the U.S. Senate, according to sources familiar with the appointment process.

Gov. Mike DeWine will select a Republican to join Sen. Bernie Moreno, who was sworn in Friday after defeating former Sen. Sherrod Brown in the Nov. 5 election. DeWine has not announced his decision, but sources said the Senate seat is likely Husted’s if he wants it − a decision the lieutenant governor is still mulling.
