Both Ryan and Vance told supporters they're leading in the polls...
“This race is going to come down to thousands of votes,” Ryan, a Youngstown-area congressman, told an afternoon crowd at an Ohio Democratic Party event in Columbus. “And I have so much faith in you. We have a choice to make.”“The numbers have us in the lead,” Vance said at a local Republican Party event in the Cincinnati area. “I don’t trust those numbers if they had us behind or ahead. But let’s be honest, you’d rather be ahead. We’re going to win this race if we do the work.
Vance, in classic political terms, is trying to make the race a referendum on the policies of Democratic President Joe Biden, who has a low approval rating in Ohio. The race, Vance said, is about high inflation, rising crime levels, border security and a political left that “has gone crazy in this country.”
“That tells me that members, the Americans that are in our cities, our townships, our jurisdictions, they’re energized to be able to impact and change the direction of what’s going on in the country right now,” Logue said. “What you see right now is madness. Simpson also said he still would like to see Vance campaign more actively, a common complaint about Vance from local Republican leaders over the summer.
“We’re really at a critical stage in the history of this country. We saw what happened in Youngstown a couple days ago with the rally,” Ryan said, referencing ex-President Donald Trump’s rally last weekend, where organizers played a song strikingly similar to a song associated with QAnon, the far-right conspiracy theory movement, days after Trump shared a photoshopped image of himself wearing a “Q” pin on his social media platform. “We see how extreme people are getting.
Simon said in an interview he was connected to Ryan through a friend, Wynton Marsalis, a jazz trumpeter. Maharath said Ryan has needed to mend fences with Asian-Americans and progressives over an anti-China ad that ran earlier this year. But, she said, the Democratic base will turn out for Ryan, and said he’s polling well in her district, which Hillary Clinton won it by 2 points in 2016, and President Joe Biden won by 8 points in 2020.
