Crypto PACs Spent $52.6M on Ohio Senate Race, but CLARITY Still Needs 7+ Democrats

  • —Defend American Jobs spent $46.67M; Digital Freedom Fund $5.94M
  • —69% of spending backed Husted, 31% opposed Sherrod Brown
  • —CLARITY got 49 yeas on Sept 15 cloture vote, short of 60
  • —All 49 yeas were Republicans; at least 7 Democrats needed
Why it matters: The Ohio outcome cannot add a single yes vote for CLARITY, leaving the industry's key market-structure bill stalled in the Senate.
