Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown said Sunday encouragement for him to launch a White House bid in 2020 has been “overwhelming” since his re-election.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Brown said “I didn't have this dream of being president of the United States.”
“Since the election [wife] Connie and I have been overwhelmed by the number of people from around the country that have said we should think about doing this,” he said, adding: “We're seriously thinking about it and talking about it with family and friends and political allies who have come to me about this. “
At the very least, Brown said he wants his “message of the dignity of work… to be the narrative for other Democratic candidates.”
“We've seen lots of heartache in my state and throughout the industrial Midwest and throughout the country because members of Congress — frankly the White House —looks like a retreat for Wall Street executives. They've not paid attention to working class issues and workers regardless of the type of work they do.”
