Sherrod Brown sets his sights on Trump in 2020
Democrat Sherrod Brown just won reelection resoundingly in a Trump state running on Trump’s issues — taking a hard line on trade and helping blue-collar workers.
Now the Ohio senator is talking increasingly like he’s prepared to take on the president himself.
In an expansive interview that began in his Senate office, Brown sketched the outlines of a potential presidential campaign that connects with the working class, particularly Rust Belt voters who’ve fled the Democratic Party for Trump — but with a less divisive message.
“I don’t play off American workers against Mexican workers,” Brown told POLITICO, even as he touted his ability to draw support from “a lot of Trump voters.”
