Ohio lawmaker Tim Ryan ends his bid for the Democratic nomination for president. |
Only six days, we heard about it. But no one seems to care!
Once considered a vocal opponent of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) speakership, Ryan and a handful of moderate/center left Democrats opposed her bid.
"While it didn't work out quite the way we planned, this voice will not be stifled," Ryan said in a statmeent. "I will continue to advocate and fight for the working people of this country -- white, black, brown, men women."
Ryan, a moderate Democrat from the Youngstown area represents an area that covers the city and the suburbs of Cleveland and Akron. He was an alternate to Joe Biden. He ran a campaign on economic issues plaguing the Midwest and pledged to take the Rust Belt back from Donald J. Trump.
The Ohio lawmaker jumped into the face and polled less than 1% in most national polls. He was struggling to raise money for the presidential bid .
Ryan was not allowed to participate in three of the five debates because he failed to qualifications.
He was proud of his campaign. He now vows to serve the Ohioans who put him in the House of Representatives.
So the only lawmaker left in this is outgoing Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) who is polling around 3% in national polls. She is no longer seeking her seat in Hawai'i and is causing uproar within the party. Her appearance on Softball Hannity's shitshow also gave Democrats speculation that she's trying to run a third party bid if she fails to win the nomination. There is also talk she may endorse Trump for 2020.
