JD Vance to Resign Ohio Senate Seat, Mike DeWine to Appoint Successor Until 2026 Election
Jan 9, 2025, 10:15 PM
JD Vance, the Vice President-elect, will resign his Ohio Senate seat effective at midnight on Thursday, ahead of his inauguration as vice president on January 20 alongside President-elect Donald Trump. Vance's resignation letter was submitted to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, who will appoint a successor to serve until a 2026 special election. Vance expressed gratitude to the people of Ohio for the opportunity to represent them and reaffirmed his commitment to enact Trump's agenda. Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted, a fellow Republican, is considering whether to take the Senate seat, though no final decision has been made. The move will temporarily reduce the number of Republican senators to 51, as GOP Senator-elect Justice has yet to be sworn in.
