At 04:14 CET, Sherrod Brown led Jon Husted in the Ohio Senate race, 48.2 to 47.0 percent with 74 percent counted, according to NBC News, based on AP data. No winner has been called, and part of the Election Day vote is still out. No race of 2026 has cost the crypto industry more. Fairshake's affiliate Defend American Jobs had reported $46.6 million against Brown by 15 October, and Semafor later reported that Fairshake is spending $55 million. Two years ago the same network spent about $40 million and won. This time the result tests how far crypto money can really carry an election, and it comes shortly after the CLARITY Act failed a key Senate vote.
