How come Sherrod Brown(D-OH) did not enter the 2020 US Presidential Race? [View all]

Sherrod Brown(D-OH), Elizabeth Warren(D-MA) and Bernie Sanders(D-VT) are the 3 top tier 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates that come from a State that currently has a Republican Governor.
If Warren(MA) and/or Sanders(VT) leave the US Senate, Democrats can win back MA and VT in the 2021/2022 special election.
If Brown(OH) leaves the US Senate Election, Democrats will have a tough time winning back OH in the 2022 special election unless Tim Ryan-D runs.
