COLUMBUS, Ohio — Democratic superstar Sen. Sherrod Brown’s five-decade career came to an abrupt end last week as GOP challenger Bernie Moreno pulled off an upset — but the Ohio senator-elect is still waiting on a traditional concession call. Brown made no attempt to contact or concede to the Republican on election night or the following morning, sources close to Moreno and his campaign confirmed to The Post.

In an interview on “The View,” Moreno said the presidential candidates’ apparent political weaknesses are not comparable, but she’s not surprised that many focus on Biden’s age, pointing to the political climate. “Actually, I’m not surprised given the tenor of what’s going on in this country right now,” Moreno said, when asked what she makes of the discussion.
