VP Vance's half-brother loses in challenge of Cincinnati's Democratic mayor

Republican Cory Bowman, who is Vice President JD Vance's half-brother, faced long odds against Democratic incumbent Mayor Aftab Pureval.

JD Vance's half-brother, Republican Cory Bowman, lost his long-shot bid in the nationally-watched Cincinnati mayoral race, falling short against Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval.

Bowman and Republicans tried to paint the city as overrun with crime. Pureval countered that the city leadership combatted crime through numerous measures, including implementing a stricter curfew and recruiting more officers.
