Sherrod Brown’s COMEBACK Could Help Flip the Senate

“The first thing we need to do with the Democratic House or Democratic Senate is show right away that we're hearing people, that we’re addressing the issue of higher cost of living, more money going out than coming in — a rigged system that clearly has hurt working class people, middle class people, people who are struggling.”

In one of the country’s most expensive Senate races, Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown is making another run for the seat he once held, taking on Republican incumbent Jon Husted while focusing on data centers, the economy and the concerns of working-class voters.

In this Substack Live, Brown joins Zeteo’s John Harwood to discuss how Democrats can rebuild trust with working-class voters, whether they can push back against Trump’s “wrecking ball” policies and what Brown’s comeback bid says about the future of the Democratic Party.

Republicans are spending millions to defend Husted, a loyal Trump supporter, as Brown mounts his comeback bid and tries to win back the voters who once made him one of Ohio’s most successful Democrats. Brown also explains why he’s making the economy and working-class voters central to his campaign, while challenging Husted over his support for the rapid expansion of data centers.
