Trump endorsed Vance in a crowded Republican primary, backed him just weeks before the May 3 primary, and held a rally for him in the Delaware Fairgrounds on April 23.

Luke Schroeder, Vance’s campaign spokesman, said: Tim Ryan pretends to be a moderate in his clever TV ads, but behind closed doors he admits he’s a progressive. He claims to be an independent speaker, but in DC, he votes 100% of his vote for (President Joe) Biden and (House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi. ”
Schroeder added that Ryan lied about wanting to ban petrol cars and reversed his position over Biden’s re-election.
“JD was born and raised in Ohio. He knows Ohioans are smarter than Tim Ryan thinks. I will reject him in November.
Ryan Campaign spokeswoman Jordan Fuja said: Supporting an extreme and highly unpopular national abortion ban, suggesting that women continue in violent marriages, calling rape an “inconvenience,” and bringing a spokesperson for Big Pharma into Ohio in his bogus non-profit self-promotional tour”.
