Ryan, a Democratic congressman and 2020 presidential candidate, is expected to face an uphill battle this fall in a state that was once a political bellwether but voted for Trump twice by an 8-point margin.
Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan cruised to his party’s nomination for an open U.S. Senate seat Tuesday and will take on the winner of one of the most contentious and closely watched Republican primaries in the nation.
Ryan, a 10-term Democratic congressman who ran a failed bid for president in 2020, has tried to distance himself from the national Democratic Party ahead of what is expected to be a difficult campaign cycle for his party. Campaigning in sweatshirts and baseball caps, he has fashioned himself as a blue-collar crusader fighting for working families.
Meanwhile, in Indiana, more than a dozen state House members are trying to hold off Republican primary challengers who want to push the Legislature further to the right. At the Strongsville library in suburban Cleveland, 84-year-old George Clark said he voted for Vance based on Trump’s endorsement. Vance had been trailing in the polls until Trump backed the “Hillbilly Elegy” author in a contest that revolved largely around the ex-president.
Democrats, meanwhile, are banking that the GOP — with Trump’s help — will elect candidates so extreme they prove unelectable come November. An anticipated Supreme Court decision to overturn the nationwide guarantee of abortion rights could also galvanize traditional Democratic voters and some independents.
