Sherrod Brown 'not ruling out' running for Vance's Senate seat

Outgoing Sen. Sherrod Brown‘s (D-OH) political career may not be over despite losing his reelection bid last week to represent Ohio in the Senate to Republican Sen.-elect Bernie Moreno.

Brown, who was first elected to the Senate in 2006, will be out of elected office in January for the first time since he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1992. In an interview with Politico, he did not dismiss running for Senate in 2026, when a special election for the remainder of the term for Vice President-elect J.D. Vance’s seat will be held.
