Two major election forecasters, Sabato's Crystal Ball and The Cook Political Report, have shifted their outlooks on the race for Ohio's 1st Congressional District in favor of Democrats in the highly competitive race for the seat currently held by Democratic Rep. Greg Landsman, who is seeking his third term in office after defeating Republican Congressman Steve Chabot in 2022 and winning re-election in 2024. This shift comes as Landsman's stance calls for an end to the ongoing war in Iran, following a statement he issued calling for a halt to the war in the country. Despite a redrawn congressional map after the 2020 U.S. Census, which included all of Cincinnati and Hamilton County's Democratic-leaning eastern suburbs, the district is now set to include Republican-leaning areas that have long been a Republican stronghold in the region. However, despite this, top election experts now see signs that Democrats hold a slight edge in the race.
