Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), who was unseated final week by Republican businessman Bernie Moreno, appears open to a bid to interchange Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who will likely be leaving the higher chamber to function vice chairman.
“I’m not ruling anything out,” Brown advised Politico when requested if he would possibly run for the rest of Vance’s time period.
The Hill has contacted Brown’s press workforce for additional remark.
Brown was one among a number of incumbent Democrats to lose on Election Day, as Republicans saved management of the Home and recaptured the Senate and presidency.
No matter what he’s doing subsequent, Brown voiced his dedication to the Democratic Get together.
“That’s my future in this party, is to focus on helping the Democratic Party and my colleagues understand how important that is, that we talk to workers and we make decisions with workers at the table,” Brown advised Politico.
When requested about the place Democrats went flawed this yr, he recommended that the occasion faces excessive expectations.
“People have to blame someone. And it’s been Democrats, because we are more blamed for it because … they expect Republicans to sell out to their corporate friends and to support the rich. But we don’t expect that from my party,” mentioned the senator, who has represented Ohio within the higher chamber since 2007.
“I know that we’ve let them get to Donald Trump by not focusing on them and listening to them and showing we’re on the side of workers all the time,” Brown mentioned.
“I’ve seen that support erode from workers, because Democrats haven’t focused on workers the way that we should over the last 30 years.”
