Trump&rsquo;s win in the state during the 2016 presidential election came after GOP presidential candidates had failed to clinch Ohio since 2004. Trump increased his margin of victory in the Buckeye State in 2020, signaling his base of support is solidifying in Brown&rsquo;s stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Brown has wielded political power in Ohio for decades. Before his successful Senate run in 2007, Brown had represented the state&rsquo;s 13th Congressional District since 1993. He had previously served as the 47th secretary of state of Ohio from 1983 to 1991.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sen.
