赫斯特德称俄亥俄州选民早已否决布朗“失败”的执政记录：“把他赶下台”
俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，随着这场高风险参议院竞选升温，谢罗德·布朗长达数十年的华盛顿从政履历仍是他最大的软肋。

俄亥俄州梅斯维尔——11月的俄亥俄州参议院选举极有可能决定美国参议院的权力平衡，现任共和党议员乔恩·赫斯特德指出，他的民主党对手两年前被赶下台的理由如今依然适用。
“他在华盛顿待了32年却一事无成，俄亥俄州的选民都清楚这一点，”周日在年度夏季农业节上被问及与前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗的竞选时，赫斯特德对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“这就是他们两年前把他赶下台的原因。他以超过20万票的差距败给伯尼·莫雷诺。他这辈子就这点本事。他从1974年起就一直在当选公职，从未在私营部门工作过。他就是个纯粹的华盛顿产物，我认为选民们终于对此感到厌倦了。这就是他们把他赶下台的原因。我不认为他们会有热情再次雇佣这位在岗位上搞砸一切的人。”
在先后在众议院任职多年后，布朗在参议院代表俄亥俄州近二十年，并于2024年在一场激烈的竞选活动中被共和党人伯尼·莫雷诺击败，这场竞选是美国历史上花费最高的选举之一。莫雷诺始终将布朗与时任总统乔·拜登的不受欢迎的政策挂钩，赫斯特德告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这些担忧至今仍然存在，尤其是在移民问题上。

“我们基本遭遇了1100万人的入侵，”赫斯特德说。“他支持为这些人提供特赦，支持为非法移民发放社会保障金、提供医疗保健、发放新冠救济金。他支持的庇护城市导致了我们州的犯罪、芬太尼贩卖和人口贩运，情况糟糕透顶，选民们都看在眼里。”
“他们知道他辜负了他们。他们知道只要他和他的同伙前往华盛顿，就会按自由派的立场投票，他对俄亥俄州来说太过左倾，他有和伯尼·桑德斯、卡玛拉·哈里斯以及乔·拜登投票一致的记录，这与俄亥俄州的民意背道而驰。”
过去几周，布朗在电视上大量投放广告，抨击赫斯特德在数据中心问题上的立场，这是俄亥俄州的一个敏感议题，他认为赫斯特德多年来对数据中心的支持导致消费者能源价格上涨。
赫斯特德于2025年1月在现任副总统JD·万斯离任后被任命进入参议院，他在被问及这些广告时反驳了这一说法。
“他在国会待了32年却对此毫无作为，而我在任仅一年多就提出了法案，要求数据中心自建电力、自负盈亏，并将其存在带来的好处惠及当地社区居民，而不是像谢罗德·布朗那样一事无成，”赫斯特德解释道。

赫斯特德继续说道：“这家伙的问题在于，他什么都不做，等到问题出现了，就把责任推给别人……他从来都不作为。他只会坐等问题发生，然后说‘这是别人的错’。现在是时候让他为自己的行为负责了。”
赫斯特德指出，布朗在国会支持的政策导致了美国目前居高不下的能源价格。
“他在华盛顿待了32年，除了推高我们的电价之外一事无成，因为他和激进的气候变化议程导致俄亥俄州关闭了23座发电厂，”赫斯特德说。“如果今天我们还有那23座发电厂，就不会有高能源价格的问题。”
赫斯特德补充道：“他投票支持的奥巴马医改让俄亥俄州乃至全美各地的医疗保险费用翻了一番。他需要为自己失败的政策负责。”
尽管俄亥俄州历来被视为摇摆州的风向标，但唐纳德·特朗普总统在2016年、2020年和2024年的选举中都以压倒性优势赢得该州，使这个“七叶树州”成为可靠的共和党票仓。不过，包括6月福克斯新闻民调在内的近期民调显示，赫斯特德落后于布朗，共和党正面临在野党在中期选举中普遍遭遇的历史逆风。
布朗是由参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默牵头重新招揽参选的，他希望拿下民主党夺回参议院控制权所需的四个席位之一，俄亥俄州与阿拉斯加、缅因州和北卡罗来纳州一同位列民主党最有可能拿下的席位之列。

距离中期选举不到100天，赫斯特德表示，布朗的执政记录将成为竞选的核心议题。
“我们只需对比谢罗德·布朗32年的失败执政记录和我这个俄亥俄本地人——我一直为俄亥俄州民众而战，在州政府任职期间带领该州走上正轨，”赫斯特德说。“我们州现在的就业岗位数量创下历史新高，失业率也达到了历史最低水平。我们不需要送谢罗德·布朗这样的人回华盛顿，继续推行那些损害国家和本州利益的失败政策。我们需要像我这样的人，为俄亥俄州而战。”

Husted says Ohio voters already rejected Brown’s ‘failed’ record: ‘Sent him packing’

MARYSVILLE, OH – The Ohio Senate race could very well decide the balance of power in the U.S. Senate in November and incumbent Republican Jon Husted is making the case that the reasons his Democratic opponent was voted out of office two years ago are still relevant today.
“He’s spent 32 years in Washington and he’s got nothing to show for it, the voters over here in Ohio know it,” Husted told Fox News Digital at the annual Summer Farm Fest on Sunday when asked about his race against former Dem. Sen. Sherrod Brown.
“That’s why they sent him packing two years ago. He was defeated by Bernie Moreno by over 200,000 votes. This is all he’s done. He’s been in an elected office since 1974. He hasn’t done anything in the private sector. He’s just been a creature of Washington and I think the voters finally are tired of it. That’s why they sent him packing. I don’t think they’re gonna have any enthusiasm for rehiring him for a job that he failed at.”
After representing Ohio in the Senate for almost two decades after years of serving in the House of Representatives, Brown was defeated by Republican Bernie Moreno in 2024 in a blistering campaign that was one of the most expensive in U.S. history. Moreno consistently tied Brown to the unpopular positions of then-President Joe Biden, and Husted told Fox News Digital those concerns still exist, particularly on immigration.

“We had basically an invasion of 11 million people,” Husted said. “He supported amnesty for them. He supported Social Security payments for illegals, healthcare for illegals, COVID checks for illegals. The sanctuary cities he supported led to crime, fentanyl, human trafficking in our state, and it’s been terrible and the voters know this.”
“They know that he failed them. They know when he goes off to Washington with his comrades that he votes like a liberal, that he’s too liberal for Ohio, that he has a track record of voting with Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, and that’s out of step with where Ohio is.”
Over the last few weeks, Brown has blanketed the airwaves with ads criticizing Husted on data centers, a hot-button issue in Ohio, arguing that Husted’s support of data centers over the years has resulted in higher energy prices for consumers.
Husted, who was appointed to the Senate in January 2025 after the departure of now-Vice President JD Vance, pushed back on that assertion when asked about the ads.
“He had 32 years in Congress, he did nothing about it, and I, in my, just briefly over a year there, have legislation to require data centers to build their own power, to pay their own way, and to give the benefits of their presence to the citizens of those local communities, rather than the way that Sherrod Brown has done it, where he’s failed,” Husted explained.

Husted continued, “This is the problem with the guy, is that he does nothing, and then a problem comes out, and he says, blame that person… He didn’t do anything about it. He never does anything about it. He just waits for problems to happen. And then he says, well, it’s the other person’s fault. It’s time to hold him accountable.”
Husted made the case that the policies Brown supported in Congress led to the high energy rates the country is seeing now.
“He spent 32 years in Washington and didn’t do anything except raise our electricity prices because he and the radical climate change agenda shut 23 power plants in Ohio,” Husted said. “If we had those 23 power plants today, we wouldn’t have high energy prices.”
Husted continued, “Him voting for Obamacare, which has doubled the price of health care insurance in the state of Ohio and around the country. He needs to be held to account for his failed policies.”
While Ohio has been historically known as a bellwether swing state, President Donald Trump won the state convincingly in 2016, 2020, and 2024, shifting the Buckeye State to a reliably red stronghold. However, recent polling, including a Fox News poll in June, shows Husted trailing Brown as Republicans battle the historical headwinds of the party in power struggling in midterm elections.
Brown, recruited back into politics in part by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, is looking to flip one of the four seats Democrats need to regain control of the Senate, with Ohio among the party’s top pickup opportunities alongside Alaska, Maine and North Carolina.

With less than 100 days to go until the midterms, Husted says that Brown’s record will be front and center.
“Just showing the contrast between 32 years of failure from Sherrod Brown and the fact that I’m an Ohio guy, I’ve fought for Ohioans, I’ve helped in state government to turn this state in the right direction,” Husted said. “We now have more jobs than we’ve ever had in our state’s history, the lowest unemployment rate, frankly, than we ever had in our states’ history. And we don’t need to send this guy back to Washington, Sherrod Brown, to continue the failed policies that have harmed the country and harmed our state. We need a guy like me who will fight for Ohio.”
