Senator Joe Manchin's announcement that he will not seek reelection in 2022 has allowed Democrats to focus their efforts on more winnable races in Texas, Florida, and Ohio, where abortion rights will be a major platform. In Ohio, Senator Sherrod Brown is facing a tough reelection race against three major Republican candidates. Democrats are hopeful that by focusing on abortion rights, they can gain an edge in these races and make a strong showing in the 2022 elections.
