Ohio may have a larger influence on climate policy than you think

Ohio's Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown will face Cleveland business owner Bernie Moreno in November 2024.

The results of this year's U.S. Senate race in Ohio could have a lasting impact on the global climate. How Ohio votes will help determine which party controls the Senate.

Former President Donald Trump dismantled major climate policies during his administration, and a Republican-controlled Senate would likely mean more of the same.

Ohio's Republican Senate nominee Bernie Moreno — who Trump endorsed — will take on Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown this November in a state that Trump won twice.

On Cincinnati Edition, we'll discuss the upcoming Ohio Senate race and the fate of green policy that lies in the balance.
