As Jacob wrote earlier, for Ohio Democrats, one of the biggest races to watch is in the 11th District where incumbent U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown is locked in a rematch against progressive challenger Nina Turner, a former surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaigns. Turner is challenging Brown again after losing to her by roughly 5 percentage points in last year’s special election. And, last night, Turner picked up a notable endorsement from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For what it’s worth, though, Brown has the backing of many establishment Democrats — including President Biden. And heading into election night’s home stretch, Brown had a fundraising edge and more outside spending on her side, according to Roll Call. Somewhat shockingly, Brown has another leg up: the support of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Currently, Brown has a large lead over Turner — but only 17 percent of the vote is in.
