Yet ANOTHER Democrat Is Weighing A Presidential Run

On Monday, Richard Ojeda– the Democrat who lost his race in West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District– officially threw his hat in the ring for POTUS 2020.

Now, we have yet another Democrat weighing a presidential run: Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, fresh off winning in Ohio, tells Cleveland Plain Dealer he’s thinking about running for president. “We showed you can get votes by being authentic and standing up for workers. People in Washington don’t understand the dignity of work.” https://t.co/GAqRwD68rM

Sherrod Brown tells me he anticipates making a decision about running for president “well after Christmas,” based on discussions with his family and whether there continues to be a groundswell of support for him to run. https://t.co/emQTxybEMX

In an interview with cleveland.com, Brown said that he’s heard from an “overwhelming” number of people who have told him he should think of a presidential run, and that he and his family intend to discuss it over the holidays, when his children and grandchildren will be around.

“This will very much be a family decision,” said Brown. “It would affect a decade of our lives. It is a very personal, serious decision.”

Translation: The decision has already been made. Isn’t that how it always goes? Every single time one of these guys announces that they’ll “discuss it over the holidays” with their family, the answer is yes.

He said he’s going to focus on “worker empowerment.” That is, IF he runs, which he totally will. ‘Cause duh.

“My message clearly appeals to Democrats, Republicans and independents,” Brown said. “We showed you can get votes by being authentic and standing up for workers. People in Washington don’t understand the dignity of work.”

“For a progressive to win a state Donald Trump carried by almost double digits by a pretty big margin tells me you can be a progressive, you can stand up for women’s rights, gay rights and civil rights, and not compromise on these core values and still win in a state that Trump won decisively,” she added.

It sounds like Democrats are going to have a crowded stage in 2020…
