Tim Ryan
Vance is poised to easily beat Democrat Tim Ryan in the nation's onetime presidential bellwether.
Ryan is courting Republicans in Ohio's U.S. Senate race, while actual Republican J.D. Vance is reminding them that Ryan isn't actually on their team.
The Ohio representative is providing a blueprint for how to succeed with the white working class ahead of a brutal 2024 Senate cycle. His party is paying attention.
The GOP candidate said his Democratic opponent planned on "flooding America with illegal aliens" so he could "fund their gender reassignment surgeries."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Vance denied spreading the theory. That's not what he told Fox News.
The GOP candidate denied saying conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was a credible source of information. But he did.
Watch Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) take down J.D. Vance in the Ohio U.S. Senate debate for his undying support for former President Donald Trump.
At the same time, Rep. Ryan, a Democrat, tried to emphasize that he's a moderate who agrees with Trump some of the time.
The men clearly have a thing or two to learn about Ohio.
Ryan is running for the U.S. Senate in Ohio, where he hopes that focusing on lifting up workers can propel Democrats to victory in an increasingly Republican state.
