In a significant electoral victory, Aftab Pureval has won re-election as the mayor of Cincinnati, defeating Cory Bowman, the half-brother of Vice President JD Vance. This win allows Pureval, who is of Indian origin, to extend the Democratic hold on the city, as Democrats maintained control over the City Council as well.
