2020 US Presidential and Senate Election- How Democrats can regain control with Brown(D-OH) as VP?

The front runners for the 2020 Democratic Nomination for US President are Biden, Sanders, or Warren.
Whoever wins the 2020 Democratic Nomination for US President is going to pick US Senator Sherrod Brown(D-OH) as the Vice Presidential Running late. Brown is a strong progressive Democrat from a Battleground state.
The 2020 Democratic Nominee for President will win all of the Clinton 2016 States plus IA,MI,OH,PA,and WI.
Regarding the 2020 United States Senate Elections,
Democrats will lose AL(Jones-D vs Sessions-R), and OH(Gov. DeWine-R picks Brown-D sucessor- former LT Gov. Taylor-R) and if Warren(D-MA) or Sanders(D-VT) are the 2020 Democratic Nominee for US President instead of Biden. MA(Gov. Baker-R picks Warren-D sucessor Lt Gov. Polito-R) or VT(Gov. Scott-R picks Sanders-I/D sucessor former Lt Gov. Dubie-R). Losing AL,OH, and MA or VT will give Democrats 44 US Senate seats.
Democrats will need to win 6 Republican held US Senate seats up in 2020.
CO(Gardner-R vs Hickenlooper-D)
AZ special(McSally-R vs Kelly-D)
NC(Tillis-R vs Cunningham-D)
ME(Collins-R vs Gideon-D)
IA(Ernst-R vs Greenfield-D)
GA special(Whoever Gov. Kemp-R appoints vs Lieberman-D)

He didn’t help Cordray beat DeWine last year even though he was in the same ballot.

To your point, any extra support would likely be muted by disappointment that he would cost us a seat (and possibly the senate).

The Governor from those States picks the interim replacement who then decides whether or not to run in the special election.
The special election for the OH US Senate seat(Brown-D) is in 2022, same time as Portman-R US Senate seat and other statewide elections in OH.
The special election for the MA/VT US Senate seats(Warren-D/Sanders are in 2021.

The special election would be in early 2021. Quite possibly even earlier since Warren/Sanders would likely step aside upon receiving the nomination.

Probably not help us to any extent in mid West or Ohio. Given the age of our probable nominee, we would have to have youth and/or diversity as an addition.
