Should Brown:

- Run for governor
- Retire
- Doesnāt matter
Sherrod Brown turns 73 in 2026.
Should Brown:
Probably doesnāt matter but thereās a chance he can steal a senate seat in this cycle. Thatās about it, no shot at gov really.
Not even if the Republican nominee for governor is Vivek Ramaswany?
Iām not a fan of people that old running, but:
A) He was actually a really good senator.
B) Heās the best chance by far to steal a senate seat in a place that went Obama 2x/Trump 3x.
The place to push old people out of the way this cycle is lock blue states (looking at you Ed Markey/Jack Reed), not here.
We used to win in Ohio, its not stealing.
Prove to me (not really) heās the best chance. Thereās no.. non-muslim Zohrans, in Ohio?
He lost by only 3.5 points on the same ballot that Trump won by over 11.
Heās popular there. In a midterm he can definitely win.
Iād say the burden of proof should lie with those who think someone else has a better chance.
Youāre probably right as usual Iām just so tired of seeing these dudes in their 70s. In general. In public.
lolno
Sherrod sucks but weāre lucky to have him and the next guy is going to be horrendously worse.
ācomputer game company founderā whoever that is canāt win anyway but we are not sending our best
I donāt think so Rās were gov even when it was voting blue.
well, probably over 10% of Ohio voters think heās a current senator. (Iām being cautious letās face itās probably 25%)
I thought he sounded good, but then
ā Elkind is coming into the race with the promise of heavy financial backing, including from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Among the local political figures backing him are Dan Doctoroff, who served as a deputy mayor under Michael Bloomberg, and former City Councilman Rafael Espinal, who told CNN, āThis isnāt about removing Nadler, but about who is the best person to carry the baton.āā
and
ā Elkind said he ranked Democratic mayoral primary winner Zohran Mamdanififth on his own ballot last month. He disagrees with the democratic socialist on issues including freezing rents and government-owned grocery stores, and for his declining to condemn the phrase āglobalize the intifada.ā (Elkind noted that he is Jewish himself.) But Elkind said the focus on affordability and a new approach to politics is much of whatās on his mind too.ā
There will be a ton of big donor money behind these reskinned eDems in 2026. Oh so you hate Chuck Schumer? Ok, but what about 25 year old Chuck Schumer? And what if he also curses on TikTok, āFuck Iran! Charter schools are the shit!ā does that do it for you?
The Dem voter base seems to have wised up a bit since 2020, so Iām hopeful of these astroturfed guys getting no traction in their primaries.
Maybe this is better than the dem thread
I mean it doesnāt make much sense for her run for governor when she has a presidential election to win 3 years.
Another AIPAC candidate, Iām sure. Gotta lock āem in when theyāre young.
itās bad enough I had to bet on potus this last election but you gonna make me put $ on vance too
