Brown not ruling out run for remainder of Vance's Senate term

Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), who was unseated last week by Republican businessman Bernie Moreno, seems open to a bid to replace Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who will be leaving the upper chamber to serve as vice president.

“I’m not ruling anything out," Brown told Politico when asked if he might run for the remainder of Vance's term.

The Hill has contacted Brown's press team for further comment.

Brown was one of several incumbent Democrats to lose on Election Day, as Republicans kept control of the House and recaptured the Senate and presidency.

Regardless of what he's doing next, Brown voiced his commitment to the Democratic Party.

"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 told Politico.

When asked about where Democrats went wrong this year, he suggested that the party faces high 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," said the senator, who has represented Ohio in the upper 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 said.

"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."
