Flipping Republican Rep. Steve Chabot’s House seat would have been a coup for Ohio Democrats, who outspent him by over $1 million and devoted copious resources to bolstering his opponent, Kate Schroder. Would have. On Tuesday, Chabot beat Schroder by an even larger margin — 7.5 points — than he had beaten previous challenger Aftab Pureval in 2018. By the time he faces another, he’ll have spent more than 25 years in Congress.
