The 2022 United States Senate election in Ohio will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Ohio. Two-term Republican incumbent Rob Portman announced that he would not seek re-election to a third term on January 25, 2021, citing "partisan gridlock".[1]

Primary elections took place on May 3, with conservative commentator and author J. D. Vance winning the Republican nomination, and U.S. Representative Tim Ryan winning the Democratic nomination.
Republican primary
As a result of Portman's retirement, this primary was expected to be one of the most competitive in the nation. Due to his high approval ratings within the Republican Party, most of the candidates sought the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Former State Treasurer Josh Mandel, who had been the Republican nominee for Senate in 2012, led most polls until late January, when businessman Mike Gibbons surged after spending millions in TV ads.[2] At a forum in March 2022, Gibbons and Mandel got into a forceful argument over Mandel's private sector experience, with the debate moderator interfering after it was feared the two candidates would come to blows.[3] On April 9, Gibbons said that middle class Americans don't pay enough in income taxes, which immediately led to his poll numbers plummeting, and on April 15, Trump endorsed writer and commentator J.D. Vance, who had criticized him in the past.[4][5] Vance, running largely as a nationalist, frequently attacking Opioids and illegal immigration, had been trailing in the polls prior to this, but as a result of Trump's support, saw a surge that allowed him to become the race's frontrunner for the first time, and he led in most polls prior to election day. Meanwhile, State Senator Matt Dolan, who disavowed Trump's claims of voter fraud in the 2020 United States presidential election, saw a late surge after buying ad time.[6] Ultimately, Vance prevailed with 32% of the vote, 10 points higher than his nearest competitor, Mandel, with Dolan in a close third. This primary was considered by many as a test of Trump's influence over the Republican Party, as he won Ohio by 8 points in 2020.[7] The primary was also the most expensive in the state's history, with the candidates spending a combined $66 million throughout the campaign.[8] There were twice as many votes in the Republican primary as there were in the Democratic Primary.
