Brown said he will focus on labor issues as he tries to help a Democratic presidential candidate defeat President Donald Trump.
Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, a noted Wall Street critic seen as a supporter of blue collar workers, will not run for president next year, he announced Thursday.
"I will keep calling out Donald Trump and his phony populism. I will keep fighting for all workers across the country," the senator said in a written statement."And I will do everything I can to elect a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate in 2020. The best place for me to make that fight is in the United States Senate."
Brown has slammed free-trade deals for sapping Americans jobs and criticized U.S. manufacturers for moving operations overseas. He has called for tighter regulation of Wall Street and stronger consumer protections.
