i think, you know, sherrod brown would be a compelling candidate on paper. you know, a democrat who won in a pretty red state in ohio and with good numbers, and that was sort of his sell. but i think beyond that, the progressive lane really is pretty clouded right nrowded ri democratic primary. he wasn't going to the centrist lane where people claimed there was a little more room, maybe. i think he looked at it and said, i can have more influence influencing the candidates that wouldn't be trapsi itraipsing t ohio. >> you can't do both jobs at all effectively. you have to pick one, and normally it's running for president that gets picked. >> i like what you said about staying in the senate. you have almost every member except sherrod brown in the democratic senate running for president. it doesn't seem like a place you can do work, but you can. >> the news is reporting that joe biden is 95% committed to running and his family is on board. so where is he now? what's the delay? >> i don't know. there's apparently a .1% chance that he won't run. but look, joe b

but that was fascinating to see sherrod brown's reaction there. much more of a reaction to the prospect of biden, for instance, getting in because he has had such a long relationship with folks on the hill there. i think it also does get at sort of like what is beto o'rourke's argument for why he should be president? one of the things he said is that he can bring people together. he's a good listener. if you look at the vanity fair article it's a lot about him, it's a lot about how he is so, you know, kind of energized by the crowd there and the masses of people he's able to gather there. i think you have a field that is a lot of, you know, experienced folks, people in the senate, people have a lot of accomplishment, people who know policy really well. so that is going to have to be something that i think beto o'rourke works on he's works his way through this race and this primary. >> jay, your reaction to sherrod brown's lukewarm yawn. >> politics is a human business and that was a human reaction. and one of a member of congress for over a quarte

well, democratic senator sherrod brown of ohio joins me now. senator, i'm really curious about this -- what goes into the calculation, because you constantly hear reports about people, they are talking to advisers and fundraisers and talking to people. what is in your head and what did you come to believe through the process that led to your decision? >> well as you know, chris, i haven't had a life long dream to be president. i've known you a long time and you've never heard me -- nobody that i know has heard me talk about as something i wanted to do at some point in my life and that began to change in november or december when i saw that just -- i just thought democrats weren't talking to workers enough and i don't think we win in the south or the mountain west or the midwest if we don't talk to workers better and listen to workers better and workers of all races and i announced on this show, on the chris hayes show, a couple of months ago our dignity of work tour and i underline listening because we spend time in each of the four early state

we haven't always gotten things ght, but've always tried. >> joining me now from cleveland is sherrod brown of ohio who annound this week to the surprise of many that he had decided not to run for president in 2020. senator brown, welcome back to "meet the press". senator -- >> good to be back. >> the last time you were on my execive producer noted he was speaking about his presidential campaign in the psent tenset was so -- it seemed so emine to it. you surprised a lot of people. you had even begun to hire some people. what changed yournd >> well, as you know, chuck, this all started off because i don't think democrats were talking to working class americans of all races enough. if you love your country you might for the people who make it work. we began our dignity of work tour in four states. yes, we hired people to help ut hat tour, and to be ready. and our goal was to inform the narrative in the democratic party so that democrats began to talk more tokeorkers and t about the dignity of work. a number of candidates have already done that,lk have been g about the dignity of work. i predi

i was struck today by the announcement that sherrod brown, senator sherrod brown is dropping out.ng to represent those sorts of people. they think joe biden might be able to do it. mike bloomberg, he dropped out. leaving the field open to most of these left wing candidates who are denying the reality of the strong economy. >> dana: then you have the independent candidacy of howard schultz who the democrats won't get behind. >> and he's running as an independent because he said the democratic party is so disassociated from the ideas he represents. he's one of the greatest job creators of his generation. >> dana: absolutely. do you think the democrats are able to talk more about the green new deal because the economy is doing so well? if there's more money coming into the government, we should have more to spend. i think that gives them room to run. i'm not trying to make their argument, i'm just thinking of how they'll try to position themselves. >> the cost of healthcare is a problem. consider a lot of these hundreds of thousands of people being brought, pulled into the economy ar

sherrod brown i thought was in, and a lot of people in the party thought he was a big factor here. >>or brown had done a lot of things to get ready, being on this listening tour, dignity of work tour. he would have been a very formidable candidate had he chosen to run. he's not running. ultimately vice president bidden wi biden will decide whether this is the right thing for him and the country and his family. it removes one other person who would have been a formidable opponent in this race. >> he said in delaware last week that his family had decided that they're ready, they're ready to go, they're ready to take whatever the burdens are and there are going to be plenty. jim messina, we've seen mike bloomberg, another candidate, a billionaire, saying yesterday he'll put his money where his mouth is, put his money into battleground states to defeat the president. can we see this as another signal that joe biden is in? >> i think so. ron can't celebrate on national tv. joe biden would have the support of labor as would sherrod brown. this is the statesman, moderate lane. bloomberg's an

jeff, this was a big week for people to announce they weren't running, sherrod brown, hillary clinton, michael bloomberg, eric holder, jeff merkley. how does that change the dynamics of the race moving forward? >> well, there's no question that the race is crystalizing, it's taking shape really week by week. and i think this was a big week because had mayor bloomberg gotten into this democratic race, yes, he would have had an uphill climb, no question. largely because he's not seen necessarily by some activists in the party as a democrat. but, boy, had he gotten in, he would have been spending a lot of money and that would have impacted everything. particularly, as the race goes on. california has moved up its primary to just the month after iowa and new hampshire. so had bloomberg gotten in, he would have had an impact on the race. since he's going to be on the outside still trying to influence the dialogue, that is significant. i thinker is r er isherrod brow biggest development of this week. i traveled around with him when he was doing an exploratory tour in iowa and he was visitin

neil: what do you make he have sherrod brown? heartland, trade? >> listen this is what i told you, they are signaling joe, go, joe. that is why bloomberg didn't go. sherrod brown, they're opening moderate to centrist, center left-wing of the democratic party is open to joe biden. everybody is saying it. i can't imagine he doesn't go. he may wake up tomorrow, hey, i'm 76. i will be 77. why do i want to put my family through this? i could always see that happening. based on what he is telling people, i spoke to a lot of people close to him he is telling them he is going. connell: he is boeing. >> i never say definite. connell: i have to go. good reporting on all those topics. we'll be right back after a quick break. we'll talk about the tax refunds again. apparently they're ticking back up? after months of wearing only a tiger costume, we're finally going on the trip i've been promising. because with expedia, i saved when i added a hotel to our flight. ♪ so even when she outgrows her costume, we'll never outgrow the memory of our adventure together.

and ohio senator sherrod brown announcing he's also going to sit this out.e's not runed but, reportedly, isn't ready to close the door entirely. all of this, of course, as the waiting game continues with former vice president joe biden reportedly in the final stages of preparing for a 2020 run. we're back with dan henninger and gillian melcher. i'm losing track, kim, of 40's in and who's not -- who's in and who's not. and i think who's not speaks pretty loudly about issues within the party particularly within the moderates. >> yeah. i think there are two main issues that are guiding the decisions for those who are not in. one just has to do with how crowded the field is. you know, it's one thing when you have 14 candidates out there and no one knows who they are, but you've got a couple of big name stauers out there -- stars out there, so that makes it harder sherrod brown or jeff networkly who both inside -- merkley who both decided not to do it. a lot of the operatives have been sucked up by other campaigns. but the other one is what you get to, which is w

we also heard from ohio senator sherrod brown, the latest to say i'm not running. giving a message to those who are running. watch. >> our goal is to inform the narrative in the democratic party so democrats begin to talk more to workers and talk about the dignity of work. a number of candidates have already done that, been talking about the dignity of work. i predict the democratic nominee is the one who talks to workers the best. >> as brown noted several of the other candidates, kamala harris, amy klobuchar echoed his message. but i'm wondering who do you think so far is best channeling the average worker who may be struggling right now? >> good question, ana. sort of the sherrod brown announcement was a surprise to a lot of democrats because the thought was he coming from ohio, having dealt with sort of the economic depressions in parts of that state, the layoffs now we are seeing at gm and in the youngstown area, he would be able to sort of give voice to that in a way not a lot of other democrats are. bernie sanders, elizabeth warren with her big-tech policy,

. >> sherrod brown?ink it will be tough for sherrod brown if biden is in the race. >> we have a widening pool, 12 officially. we know perhaps we will have more. where do you see the lane for somebody who can both win the nomination and beat donald trump? >> first thing when you put up that graphic, it really does show the diversity of the democratic party, which is quite extraordinary. and he's interesting because he's a great journalist candidate. but go about electability versus progressive politics, where are voters going to be six months from now, a year from now as they start going to the polls? a lot of voters are telling me they're folkcused of getting ri of donald trump. that brings somebody like hickenlooper and sherrod brown to the table. and then the fight will be number two. >> that does change the conversation. typically what you would say is, all right, the primary voter is the more progressive voter. he or she is someone who is more likely to be further left. but those folks who are involv

for the moment that it was in the civil rights movement, hillary clinton, cory booker, sherrod brown,e connie shultz all marched across. bernie sanders wasn't present for this. he does have a rally in chicago later tonight. but the weather seemed to cooperate even just for this short moment to walk across the bridge and remember bloody sunday. >> what were the other candidates focusing on as they spoke to voters in selma today? >> there was a lot of focus on voter suppression and how to combat that going forward. front of mind for many of these both candidates and supporters here today is the idea of what happened in the georgia governor's race with stacey abrams and brian kemp. i was talking to sherrod brown a while ago and he said he feels that election was stolen from stacey abrams. that's something i've heard from voters across campaign rallies, who talked about what stacey abrams meant to them in 2018 and the role she could play going forward in 2020. but voter suppression was on the top of everyone's mind here. all the candidates spoke about it. take a listen to what they had to

also this week, working-class champion sherrod brown announced he would not be seeking the democratication for president. he would have been the most prominent candidate from the rust belts in the democratic primary. hmm, what's going on here? joining muss is senior writer and harry enden. the last president to win without ohio was jfk. is ohio no longer a bellwether? >> i don't think it actually is. the governor's race, mike dewine easily wins. and if you take the cumulative house vote, it's very different from michigan, wisconsin, iowa,s rest of the midwest states. it looks like they're holding on to that status, but ohio not really. >> do you think that priorities usa is hinting at something here, that ohio is now trump country? >> i think they are. i think they recognize if they get to 270 there's better pathways than going through ohio. if you look at the 2016 results, you saw him winning there by eight points. it could be a closer race in 2020, but other states will get candidates to that threshold first. >> i'm remembering hillary clinton was criticized i think rightly and merc

[laughter] your best shot. >> i'm sure quite some time but what an absurd proposition that president trump doesn't understand macroeconomics you would think they would level against barack obama who oversaw worst economic recovery in history and every administration and we've seen prosperity, like we haven't seen in quite some time. so that was absurd exchange that we just watched. >> your thoughts charlie. >> these people have been at it around here in washington for decades now. and it took somebody like donald trump to come along and get as grasp of the actual macro economic picture that regular americans feel all of the time which -- in the focus,

have been hearing today from everyone from hillary clinton to cory booker, to bernie sanders, to sherrod brown, some of the people, lawmakers who have been speaking here in selma today. cory booker speaking in the historic brown chapel where martin luther king jr. gave sermons when he was here in selma, alabama, was saying from that same pulpit that the dream is in danger, that the dream of martin luther king is in danger of eroding in this era. so the very clear message from leaders here today is that the struggle continues. that is, of course, what this march signifies, as much as the celebration of this day and what it means in terms of how far the country has come. >> you absolutely have to face the sorering reality, even as we commemorate this day. rebecca buck, stand by. let's go to cnn's senior political reporter nia-malika henderson. also joining me is michael eric dyson, author of "what truth sounds like." nia, let's start with you. i want to start personal. you were mentioning last hour being there, what it means to you. when you hear these messages, these concerns, stark warnings fr

one key member saying he's not running in the possible category, that is sherrod brown., joe biden is the biggest? >> he is the biggest? as much as we were saying about the difference between nancy pelosi and the rising populist force of the far left, we see this with the democratic primaries were joe biden for my point of view seems to be the only traditionalist democrat at least in terms of what these candidates are saying now. the question for the party becomes whether he wins or not, can there be a unified candidate who can bring together disparate strands, talk about those fundamentals that democrats seem to expect now. in a way that doesn't allow president trump to say this is what it means for your taxes. >> bret: 95% in but the 5% is a big hurdle, here is joe biden and eric trump responding. >> they come of the most important people in my life want me to run. >> if you want to run joe biden against my father i think it's going to be an easy victory. all you need to do is lineup stats, quantifiable stats. >> bret: as you look at the real clear politics standings r

ohio senator sherrod brown made that announcement today saying, i will keep calling out donald trump and his phony populism. i will keep fighting for all workers across the country 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. john kasich is the former republican governor of ohio and is a cnn senior political commentator. governor, i imagine you know senator brown. what's your reaction to his decision? >> i'm surprised. i really felt that he was just re-elected, he could have a clean shot at this. i would guess -- i haven't talked to him about it. this is news to me, frankly. maybe he and his family took a look at it and said it's going to be brutal and nasty and maybe they just didn't have the stomach for it. i thought that he had come off pretty well. people were saying, you know, he was liberal but yet he was viewed as a moderate. i expected him to go forward, trying to get into these presidential campaigns, it's not beanbag. it's a very tough effort and they

so, was sherrod brown tipped off by the joe biden people to get out? if he was tipped off by the joe biden people, but certainly there was some belief biden getting in would hurt brown's chances. if you look at where sherrod was in the polls, he was only at 1%. >> he wasn't in yet. >> he wasn't in yet. he would have gotten in but it would have been difficult with so many candidates running to get that name recognition up, to get the press that was necessary, especially if biden were to jump in. there's only so much press attention. but i think that brown getting out, he was one of the first that i really thought had a real shot, a real dark horse of winning the knox nation. he running third. he was having people and seeing activists in the key swing states, do you think that you could support this morning? normally support among activists predicts future success. >> when he made the decision yesterday, what i saw from people was this was the first candidate who when a chance to make an impact in the race who decided not to run. let's talk about joe bid
