"And that right there folks is a huge problem," conservative communicator Steve Guest posted on X along with the clip.

"Sherrod is going to spend the next 6 months lying to Ohio voters and pretending that he doesn't vote with Biden virtually 100% of the time," Donald Trump Jr. posted on X. "Don't fall for his lies!"

A spokesperson for businessman Bernie Moreno, Brown's Republican opponent in November, told Fox News Digital, "No matter how hard he may try, Sherrod Brown can’t run from his record as a rubber-stamp for Joe Biden’s disastrous left-wing agenda."

Brown's race is one of four Senate races, along with Montana, Arizona, and Nevada, that the Cook Political Report ranks as a "toss up" and most political analysts believe President Biden's record and low approval numbers will play a significant role in each of those races.

"Sherrod works for Ohio, which is why he’s stood up to presidents of both parties to block bad trade deals, worked with Republicans to make sure border patrol agents and law enforcement officers have the resources they need, and demanded the Biden Administration crack down on Chinese solar products that undercut Ohio manufacturers," Friends of Sherrod Brown spokesperson Matt Keyes told Fox News Digital. 

The campaign pointed to several examples of Brown taking policy positions different from Biden's, including opposing the expiration of Title 42, calling on Biden to ban chinese electric vehicles and opposing Biden's suspension of tariffs on Chinese solar power.
