Scoop: Sherrod Brown met with Schumer in Ohio amid 2026 Senate push [View all]
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former Sen. Sherrod Brown met in Ohio this weekend, as Brown weighs a possible comeback bid to flip a GOP Senate seat in the state, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Schumer has lobbied Brown for months to run. Fresh off a major recruiting victory in North Carolina, he wants to expand that luck to Ohio.
Brown, 72, lost re-election last year, and is considering both a Senate and gubernatorial bid in Ohio, according to sources familiar with his thinking.
The former three-term Democratic senator is likely his party's best chance at running a competitive 2026 campaign in the state.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris lost Ohio last year by over 10 points. Brown lost by just under four points.
