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.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
