CLEVELAND, Ohio- The results are in relative to the Nov. 5 presidential election, Ohio's U.S. Senate seat race, Ohio Supreme Court races, and judicial and other races in Cuyahoga County, a Democratic stronghold that includes the majority Black major American city of Cleveland.

Vice President Kamala Harris lost her presidential bid Tuesday night to former President Donald Trump, who won both the popular vote and the electoral college to become the nation's 47th president. Also, incumbent U.S. Sen Sherrod Brown lost reelection to businessman Bernie Moreno, a Trump-endorsed millionaire. And Democratic Ohio Supreme Court candidates Justices Michael Donelly and Melody Stewart and Appellate Judge Lisa Forbes lost, as Ohio's Supreme Court, now led by Republican Chief Justice Sharon Kennedy, will remain Republican-dominated for now.

In consequential Cuyahoga County elections, U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown was reelected as were state Sen Nickie Antonio, and state Reps. Juanita Brent and Terrence Upchurch, also president of the Ohio Black Legislative Caucus. Brown, Brent and Upchurch are Black.

According to unofficial results from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections,  Republican Common Pleas Judge Joan Synenberg won to retain her seat after a hard-fought campaign and Cleveland judge Lauren Moore and Carl Mazzone, who defeated crooked Judge Nancy Margaret Russo in the primary for an open seat, won Common Pleas general division judgeships. Magistrate Joy Kennedy snagged a win for domestic relations court judge in the county. Moore and Kennedy are Black Democrats, and they add more diversity to the benches they will serve on.

Democrat Delores Gray, a Cleveland activist, won the open seat for the Ohio State Board of Education.

What's next for the Dems in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County remains to be seen with the 2025 nonpartisan races for Cleveland mayor and Cleveland City Council nearing. 

Democratic Mayor Justin Bibb, the city's third Black mayor at 37, and its second-youngest behind former mayor Dennis Kucinich, is already campaigning for reelection with no publicly announced opposition candidate to date.
