Ohio Gov.\u00a0Mike DeWine\u00a0will announce on Friday Lt. Governor Jon Husted as his pick to fill the Senate vacancy left by Vice President-elect JD Vance ahead of his inauguration on Monday, according<\/a> to Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement will be made at approximately 1 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance gave the Senate notice of his forthcoming resignation on Jan. 9, which became official on the following day. He officially resigned 10 days prior to his and President-elect Trump’s swearing in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To the people of Ohio, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of representing you in the United States Senate. When I was elected to this office, I promised to never forget where I came from, and I\u2019ve made sure to live by that promise every single day,” Vance said in a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Vance’s resignation, new Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said in his own statement, “Ohio couldn\u2019t be prouder of JD Vance! He has served our country with great honor, first in the Marines, then in the US Senate, and now as our 50th Vice President! I\u2019m extremely thankful to JD for his early and unwavering support. A truly amazing journey for an outstanding guy!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the new senator is sworn in, Republicans will officially have a 53-vote majority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
