Report: Multiple Failures on Jan. 6 Threats Exposed Capitol Police\">potential plan<\/a> to run for the Senate again. Moreno referred to Brown as a &#8220;Chuck Schumer stooge&#8221; and suggested that Brown should retire, calling him &#8220;ancient&#8221; if re-elected. Brown, a third-term Democratic senator, lost to Moreno by about 3.5 percentage points and would be 74 years old if he returns to office in 2027. Brown has been <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >reportedly interviewing campaign managers<\/a> for a possible comeback bid against Senator Jon Husted (R-OH), who currently holds the seat after being appointed to replace Vice President JD Vance. Despite his previous loss, Brown remains a strong candidate for Ohio Democrats in a state that leans Republican, and he might also consider running for Ohio governor. Additionally, Brown founded the pro-worker nonprofit Dignity of Work Institute earlier this year.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Bernie Moreno dings Sherrod Brown for eyeing Ohio Senate comeback<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1874238\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bernie-moreno\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Bernie Moreno\">Bernie Moreno<\/a> (R-OH) is no fan of the idea that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sherrod-brown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Sherrod Brown\">Sherrod Brown<\/a>, the former Democratic senator whom he unseated last November, may make another run for Senate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The last thing Ohio needs is another [Sen.
