The Future of Sherrod Brown
I read an article that Sherrod said he wants to work toward moving the Democratic Party back to its roots of being pro-worker, and not the pro-corporate party its become (Im paraphrasing what he said). But I've been thinking about what he does in the future, because he's signaled like he wants to run for some form of office again.
I know people are talking about the 2026 special election for JD's senate seat, but then just two years later in 28 that seat will be up again for a full term election. Ive also seen governor as something he potentially does. I think his best chances are at becoming governor, due to his name recognition if its him or Acton in the primary I think Sherrod wins in a landslide.
Ive thought, why not President? I know he'll be older but he's much more progressive than a lot of dems on the 2028 primary list. I worry that if we go with a corporate democrat again, they will lose. Sherrod has progressive views on healthcare, and his record of being pro labor speaks for itself. I think he'd be a slam dunk over someone like Gavin Newsome. He also considered running in 2020 but ultimately decided against it because if he did become President, then Dewine would appoint a republican to replace him; with him out of the Senate that's not a problem anymore.
What do you all think about President Brown?
