Opinion: Democrats are worse off without Brown in the race
Sen. Sherrod Brown . By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 8 at 9:00 AM It’s rare, with all the leaking and telegraphing, that we get surprised by a candidate’s decision to run or not run for president. Sen. Sherrod Brown managed to surprise the political and media universe by deciding not to run in 2020.
“The pull on me was always do my work here and fight for these issues,” Brown told reporters after a vote on an Ohio judicial nominee whom he vigorously opposed. As the announcement of his decision about 2020 went out, Brown was on the Senate floor delivering an impassioned speech, walking up and down the center aisle listing the judicial nominee’s alleged transgressions.Political watchers are loath to accept explanations at face value.
