Shontel Brown wins special Ohio Democratic primary, giving establishment victory over 'Squad'

Shontel Brown won a special election primary in Ohio’s 11th Congressional District race on Tuesday, handing the establishment wing of the Democratic party a key victory despite being vastly out-raised by ‘Squad’-backed Nina Turner.

Former Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge left the seat earlier this year to become secretary of housing and urban development under President Joe Biden. The Cleveland-area seat is a longtime Democratic stronghold, with Biden winning there in 2020 with nearly 80% of the vote, making Brown almost certain to win the Nov. 2 general election.
