📍Gahanna, Ohio
After attending a church service with #OH03 Rep. @JoyceBeatty, #OHSen candidate @TimRyan is heading north to a campaign event in Medina.
He has IBEW bikers escorting his bus.
As the #OHSen race comes to a close, I asked @TimRyan what block of voters has been the toughest to get through to.
“People who didn’t vote Democratic for the last few cycles in Ohio. But I think we’ve penetrated that in a very, very big way by making this race about Ohio.”
If @TimRyan wins the #OHSen race on Tuesday, national Democrats will likely talk him up as a potential 2024 presidential candidate.
His message to Ohioans?
“I’ll be serving a full six-year Senate term.”
“And if you bring this up in front of my wife, I’ll kill you,” he joked.
📍 Medina, Ohio
#OHSen candidate @TimRyan, and his wife Andrea, arrive in downtown Medina for a campaign event.
100+ people are gathered here on a lovely fall afternoon.
Ryan is giving his usual stump speech, talking family, jobs, and criticizing @JDVance1 as out of touch.
“I went into a @FoxNews town hall. You know why? Because that’s how you win elections,” #OHSen candidate @TimRyan tells the crowd here in Medina — one of his biggest applause lines.
“Democracy is not like gravity. Democracy is not like the sun coming up. It’s a choice.”
In Medina, I asked #OHSen candidate @TimRyan about the prospect of Ohio having two Dem senators.
Since 2007, the state has had one from each party.
Ryan said, between him and @JDVance1, “I’m clearly the one who wants to bring everybody to the middle to try to get stuff done.”
📍 Cleveland, Ohio
#OHSen candidate @TimRyan just arrived to Ironworkers Local 17 for a rally.
Sen. @SherrodBrown, Rep. @ShontelMBrown, and @AFLCIO President @LizShuler are among the special guests here tonight.
“I am most excited to stand shoulder to shoulder” with @SherrodBrown, #OHSen candidate @TimRyan says as he takes the stage in Cleveland following an introduction from Brown.
Lots of talk about labor.
After his rally in Cleveland, I asked #OHSen candidate @TimRyan how confident he is that he’s done enough outreach to Black voters across Ohio.
“I feel very, very good…We’ve put a lot of time and effort, communications into it…I think it’s going to pay off.”
