As much as I like Sherrod, I doubt he wants to run for a two-year term in the Senate, after which he'd have to be on the ballot in a presidential year (again).

He and his wife just moved to Columbus to be closer to her job (and also to get away from dreadful Cleveland winters, I'm guessing). I'm sure there are plenty of cool things he can do there.

If the GOP nominee is the absolutely-insufferable Vivek Ramaswamy*, I actually think Sherrod would have a chance.

*Seriously, how can ANYONE stand listening to this guy for more than, like, three seconds?

Normally, I'm a cynic about states like OH, but I do think it's elastic enough that Brown could possibly beat Ramaswamy in the type of year 2026 is shaping up to be. This would be best case scenario....

The Western Reserve (outside of Cuyahoga and Summit counties) going MAGA was a huge blow to our competitiveness in Ohio.

That said, if anyone could whiff a statewide race there, it's Ramaswamy. Jim Tressel (who I also can't stand, but at least he's just a standard overrated doofus in the DeWine/Kasich mold) waited too long to run.

Similar leads against Amy Acton. Both of them would not be good candidates.
