WASHINGTON — Sen. Sherrod Brown is launching a tour of three states that cast pivotal early votes in the 2020 presidential primary. The move from the Ohio Democrat is a key step before he decides whether to launch a campaign for the White House. Brown won a third term in November on the strength of a message he calls the ‘‘Dignity of Work.’’ He plans to use that motto for his forthcoming tour, which he announced Tuesday night on MSNBC.

Sen. MORE.

No Democrats attended a lunch on Tuesday with MORE designed to reach an agreement to end the government shutdown and fund a border wall, as the president’s attempt to force leaders back to the negotiating table fell flat. Trump invited several moderate House Democrats to the White House in an effort to undermine Speaker MORE (D-Calif.), who has refused to grant Trump his demand for $5.7 billion in wall funding.

Attorney general nominee William Barr staked out differing positions from MORE’s investigation at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, demonstrating an independence that’s likely to help him win votes for confirmation. Barr praised Mueller’s credibility, saying he did not believe the Russia investigation was a “witch hunt,” and credited former Attorney General MORE with making the right choice in recusing himself from the probe.
