Moving the primary from March to May could hurt Sen. Sherrod Brown’s chances should he decide to run.
Sen. Sherrod Brown during a breakfast roundtable February 12, 2019 in Washington, DC.
Cera has not discussed his bill with Brown and said it is not his intention to hurt his chances. Brown, who is weighing a campaign, would join a large field and could benefit from a strong Ohio showing early on the primary calendar. A May contest could be too late for Brown. One state that could be positioned to benefit a native candidate: California, where Sen. Kamala Harris could clean up on Super Tuesday, March 3., the state’s 2020 primary would be March 10.
Ohio has been holding March presidential primaries — often in the Super Tuesday mix with other states — since 1996. Four years ago, Ohio Republicans successfully pushed the primary back a week in March, a move that enabled John Kasich, then the state’s governor, to collect all the delegates up for grabs there that day. It was the only primary Kasich won. He lasted in the race until May, the last candidate to drop out against Trump.
