Having wrapped up a convincing re-election win in last week’s midterms , Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown said on Monday that he is considering a run for president in 2020. Brown is an intriguing candidate for Democrats who are determined to retake the Rust Belt states that vaulted Donald Trump to the White House two years ago. He’s an old-school, pro-labor liberal with a gravelly voice and rumpled demeanor who’s backed some ambitious expansions of the welfare state. More importantly, at least from a mercenary electoral politics standpoint, he appears to be the only Democrat still capable of competing in the Buckeye State, which went to Trump by more than 7 percentage points, and elected a Republican in every other major statewide race this month.
