Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) urged lawmakers and other politicians earlier this week to stop politicizing the toxic train derailment that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, last month and unite in a bipartisan manner to help the town recover.
Ryan called for President Joe Biden to visit the small town, stating that many residents in Ohio feel forgotten by the president.
Ryan said he believes there are leaders within the Democratic Party who could help unite the country and reach across partisan lines in Congress, such as Sens. Sherrod Brown and Bob Casey and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries . A Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials crashed last month, causing 38 train cars to derail from their tracks. The incident has left residents in the town concerned about long-term health effects due to a subsequent controlled burn that released chemicals done to avoid an explosion.
