On Wednesday, he told reporters that he has heard "concerns" about Biden from his constituents in Ohio.
"I hear legitimate concerns from people in Ohio about the president. I listen to those, but my job is to continue to work for my state to fight on prescription drug prices and jobs," Brown said.

Moreno charged that Brown has been complicit in "the greatest cover-up in American history" by keeping quiet about Biden's fitness for office.
"This is Watergate on steroids. They knew all along – especially Sherrod Brown, is friends with Joe Biden for decades. So it’s not like they have a casual acquaintance," he said.
A spokesman for Brown's campaign accused Moreno of playing "political games" with his news conference outside of Brown's office.

"While Sherrod is working for the people of Ohio, Bernie Moreno was once again playing political games that expose how he’s only out for himself," said Deputy Communications Director Matt Keyes.
The Ohio Senate race is rated a "Toss Up" by nonpartisan political handicapper Cook Political Report, alongside only two other Senate races. With split-ticket voting on the decline, candidates for Senate are much more likely to be elected if the presidential nominee at the top of their ticket also carries their state.
