Shontel Brown will win Ohio seat once held by Marcia Fudge, CNN projects
CNN
Democrat Shontel Brown, a Cuyahoga County Council member, will win Ohio's 11th Congressional District, CNN projects Tuesday. The seat that was vacated by former Rep. Marcia Fudge who became President Joe Biden's secretary of housing and urban development earlier this year.
CNN projected Brown's win over Republican candidate Laverne Gore, on Tuesday.
Brown's victory is not expected to impact the balance of power for the US House of Representatives, where Democrats hold a slim 3-seat majority. That's because Ohio is having another special election in the 15th congressional district to fill the seat of GOP Rep. Steve Stivers, who resigned earlier this year. That district is considered safely Republican, and GOP Rep. Mike Carey is expected to win Tuesday.

President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
