May as well start speculation for 2020 now before all the votes are counted for 2018...
Sherrod Brown for president? He’s thinking about it
The downside is that DeWine would get to select his replacement in the Senate.
Sherrod Brown for president? He’s thinking about it
He pulled out a 6% margin in the Senate race when Republicans ended up ahead in the Governor's race by over 4%. That alone would make people consider him to put Ohio in play, and he would probably add to Dem support in neighboring Pennsylvania and Indiana.Brown, speaking hours after an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” said regardless of whether he runs, he wants Democrats who are seeking the White House to use lessons from his race as a blueprint for how to run in the industrial Midwest.
“I respect the dignity of work, and I think that’s what Washington forgets about,” said Brown on “Morning Joe.”
He said his campaign “was about workers and the direction we need to go,” and said his successful campaign proved a progressive candidate could win even in a red state such as Ohio by focusing on workers.
