The Ohio Democrat said he will “keep calling out Donald Trump and his phony populism”
Sen. Sherrod Brown isn’t running for president, the Ohio Democrat announced in a statement Thursday. Brown had flirted with a possible presidential run in the months since he was re-elected to the Senate in November.
“I will keep calling out Donald Trump and his phony populism. I will keep fighting for all workers across the country. And I will do everything I can to elect a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate in 2020. The best place for me to make that fight is in the United States Senate,” Brown said in a statement released by his campaign office.
Brown said he and his wife, journalist Connie Schultz, “have spent the last few months traveling around the country to make dignity of work a centerpiece of Democrats’ 2020 campaign, and we are so grateful to everyone who has welcomed us into their communities and into their lives.
