Background

During the 2020 redistricting cycle, the Ohio State Supreme Court ruled that the congressional district maps enacted by the Ohio Redistricting Commission were illegal gerrymanders that unduly favored Republicans, violating the
Constitution of Ohio The Constitution of the State of Ohio is the basic governing document of the State of Ohio, which in 1803 became the 17th state to join the United States of America. Ohio has had three constitutions since statehood was granted. Ohio was created ...
. Nevertheless, the 2022 elections took place using those districts as the Court determined that it did not have the authority to impose a new map itself, and it ultimately dismissed the case, ending any possibility that the maps would be redrawn for the 2024 elections.


Overview

Both Democrats and Republicans held their ground in the election, securing every seat they won in 2022. Republicans performed the best in the second district, which has the state's highest percentage of white voters. It was also Donald Trump's strongest in the presidential election;https://opoliticsguru.github.io/2024-Presidential-Election-Results-Ohio/#6/42.253/-77.783 however, Representative-elect David Taylor still outran him by 0.2%. Conversely, Democrats performed the strongest in the Black-plurality 11th district, which was also Kamala Harris's best. Democrats improved on their 2022 results in ten districts, while Republicans gained ground in the other five: , , , and . They earned a particularly significant overperformance in OH-09 where they slashed Democrats' lead from D+13.2% to a measly D+0.7% but failed to swing the district. Journalists attributed such a result to Tom Pruss's bid for the seat as a Libertarian candidate.
