The battle for the US Senate has eyes on many races too close to call, including the battle for the retiring Sem Rob Portman's seat, which Democratic Tim Ryan and Republican candidate J.D. Vance are battling over.

The 21 News US Senate is now over, but here is what media that either attended or covered the Youngstown event had to report on the outcome of the debate.

CNN said the debate was a personal and combative affair.

The New York Times also called it strikingly contentious and sometimes personal.

Politico said that the debate got so ugly that it was surprising to see the candidates shake hands at the end.

Yahoo News said that Vance and Ryan used the debate to stoke fears of extremism to appeal to undecided voters.

USA Today said the candidates clashed over abortion, guns, immigration, President Joe Biden and Forner President Donald Trump in a raw and personal debate.

The Washington Post wrote that Ryan tried to show Vance as a choice between a moderate and an extremist, while Vance tried to tie his opponent to national Democratic leaders.

Bloomberg reported on the clash over tense clash over immigration.

Ohio media from around the state including Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati all covered the debate, with coverage from as far away as Japan.
