Rep. Tim Ryan tells Lawrence O’Donnell that he’s “very interested” in running for retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman’s seat in Ohio to help expand Democrats’ control in 2022 and says that if the Democrats can focus on “bread and butter issues” in rural America like wages and manufacturing, then “it will be an opportunity for us to capture those working class people who may have voted for Donald Trump.” Aired on 2/4/2021.

Rep. Tim Ryan Expected To Run For U.S. Senate In Ohio | The Last Word | MSNBC
Tim Ryan will definitely become the Senator from Ohio if he runs, he has solid support from the working class!!
🙏
wow, why
@David Goldman Good Guy , Good Morals and Values , Something Our Country Needs Bad !
@George Robson but what policies does he support
@R L The majority of people living and committing crimes in urban ghettos are Democrats
EXCELLENT. We need OHIO to be BLUE!
Sorry but I think Ohio will stay in the GOP column for a long time.
The guy is right that the D’s need to focus on main street, and not be driven by wall street. Modern manufacturing expansion, update the economic environment of the middle of the country. Stop the desperation of so many Americans. Do it for the people, all of us.
Jim Jordan is a POS but he is smart enough to know he can’t win outside his little district
One of the most gerrymandered ones in the United States
Gerrymandered, voter-suppressing district.
AGREE 1001% ….on HIS WELL GERRYMANDERED district…
We have to get out and vote every one of us talk to your friends talk to your family make it a trip vote vote vote
We just had an election in November 2020. The vast majority of people do not care to talk about campaigns and elections when it isn’t until November 2022. So Get a life.
WOW !! Imagine that, Doing something to HELP people would make you very popular… Who woulda thunk it ?
Think Main Street, NOT Wall Street and you WILL win…. Gooo Tim !
CONGRESSMEN Need To Stop Walking The Party Lines And Start Upholding The CONSTITUTION Like They Took An OATH TO PROTECT !
I am in my late 60ths and what I have seen is that “OATH to PROTECT the Constitution” only protects what they WANT, therefore the OATH could be done on a roll of toilet paper.
Tim Ryan, would be amazing!
I’m glad. He’s a great guy who loves Ohio. I know him personally and he honestly cares about the people!!
And he’s not bad on the eyes either!😉🌷💐💙
I really liked him when he ran in the presidential primaries – thought then that he would make a great senator.
@Denise Michael Well… except for the Tin-Tin hair-do.
Hes one of the good ones.
He’s getting there, so long as he doesn’t let personal ambition trump service.
Jim Jordan isn’t running? That will remove some of the Trump Stink from Congress.
They are saying Jim Jordan claims he won’t run for Senate… not that he won’t remain in the House. Unfortunately, we can’t get rid of his stink that easy!!!
Wow, I may get a good Senator after all. Portman has been in absentia for 4 years, passively following the RNC order to ignore ethics, constitutionality and his oath of office.
Jim Jordan isn’t running because he knows the votes aren’t there.
Gym Jordan has his safe little QAnon district, but Ohio is not totally infested with QAnon. May the more humane human win.
Indeed, we need more congressmen who could understand the hard working reality of the working class.
We do NOT want those rich, spoiled kids, who are greedy and selfish, who are advocating for the wealthy class, taking control over our lives.
watch what happens to working class jobs once the EPA goes into over regulation insanity and the other agencies follow suit
It would be either a miracle or a conspiracy for the seditious GOP/MAGA/Insurrectionist party to do the right thing! The Dems need to make serious challenges in 2022!
This Michigander would help support your campaign.
Ohio is up for grabs and Ryan is the right choice to run.Senate seats for Democrats big in 2022.
Jim Jordan needs to go back to the corn fields of Ohio. Thank God Jordan is shutting up and sitting down and NOT GOING TO RUN FOR RE- ELECTION . !!
Like Sherrod Brown . Hope Ryan keeps his word .
I hope he runs. We need good leadership in Ohio.
