Media outlets fawn over Tim Ryan in home stretch of Ohio Senate race

Several media outlets have given praise to Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, who is facing an uphill battle to defeat GOP rival JD Vance in the Ohio Senate race.

Time ran the headline, "Democrats Are Closely Watching Tim Ryan's Efforts to Woo Ohio's Trump Voters," saying he "drops in some Bobby Kennedy for good measure, but there are glimmers of Ronald Reagan’s optimism in there, too."

"Tim Ryan clutched his paper Starbucks cup in his left hand as he tossed the football a clean spiral to his 8-year-old son, Brady, with his right… And just as Ryan can sip his drink—first coffee, later Miller Lite—and toss the football at the same time, the former star quarterback similarly has found a way to two-track his messaging," Time reported. "He’s kept President Joe Biden at arm’s length while promoting parts of the White House’s agenda such as the Inflation Reduction Act. Ryan is pitching tax cuts and ditching anything nearing the Green New Deal. He wants more cops on the streets and fewer people in jail for marijuana. His campaign soundtrack is heavy on country, his standard speech heavy on faith and family."
