Joe Biden
President Joe Biden.
  • Biden wasted little time in declaring victory after a closely-watched Ohio special election.
  • Voters in the state swiftly rejected a GOP-led effort to make it harder to pass constitutional amendments.
  • While not explicitly about abortion, Republicans made clear that they wanted to short-circuit a proposed abortion rights amendment.
