Brown in November won reelection to the Senate in Ohio, a key swing state that Trump carried in 2016. He said during a speech on election night that his victory showed "progressives can win — and win decisively — in the heartland."

Brown has said that he is considering a bid for the presidency in 2020, though he hasn't yet announced publicly whether he will run.

Earlier this month, Brown announced that he will make a “Dignity of Work” tour that will include stops in four early presidential nominating states. The tour is set to begin on Wednesday in Cleveland before Brown heads to Iowa on Thursday. He will also make trips to New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
