An on-stage altercation between the two leading candidates in the Ohio GOP U.S. Senate race unfolded during a forum Friday evening.

Josh Mandel, the former Ohio State Treasurer, and Ohio State Representative who for months was the front-runner in the campaign to replace retiring GOP Senator Rob Portman, has directed his attention on the 69-year-old Mike Gibbons, a Cleveland investment banker who surpassed Mandel and claimed the top position in two recent independent polls.
