Former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown’s entry would give Democrats their top potential recruit, since Brown has been elected statewide five times in Ohio.

Former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, Ohio’s best-known Democrat, is expected to make another run for the Senate next year as Democrats wage an uphill fight to win control of the chamber.

The Democrat will run for the seat held by GOP. Sen Jon Husted, who was appointed to serve the rest of Vice President JD Vance's term.
