Democrat Sherrod Brown hasn't decided yet whether he'll run for president in 2020, but the Ohio Democrat is spending time in early-voting South Carolina, where he's promoting higher wages for workers and more robust health care.
Brown attended a Darlington County Democratic women's event, and said he values the important role that black women play in the nominating process. South Carolina holds the first contest in the South, and the state's Democratic primary electorate is largely African-American.
On Friday, Brown stopped at a Columbia job training facility. He later went to Florence, where Mayor Stephen Wukela (woo-KEY-lah) said he would support Brown if he jumps into the race.
