Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan is the latest Democrat to jump into the 2020 race, announcing his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination during a Thursday appearance on ABC's “The View.”
The Ohio congressman also laid out his pitch to make America a leader in environmental manufacturing industries such as wind, solar, and electric car production."There's so many industries out there growing. Wind and solar is growing at 25% to 30% a year. Electric vehicles, there's 2 million made today," Ryan said."By 2030 there will be 30 million electric vehicles. I want those vehicles made in the United States.
Speculation regarding Ryan’s 2020 plans ramped up last year after the eight-term representative started popping up in early key primary states including Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. At the time, Ryan made it clear he wouldn’t make a decision on whether or not to run in 2020 until after the 2018 midterm elections. “I think we’ve got to figure out what happens in November,” Ryan said. “The key is take the House back, play a role, be active.
Ryan’s entry into 2020 politics could be one to watch given the field has been primarily dominated by more progressive voices thus far. While he has moved to the left on certain key issues over the years, including flipping his self proclaimed “pro-life” stance on abortion, Ryan remains one of the more moderate Democrats now running for the White House within a group of politicians seemingly often trying to out-progressive one another.
there are a million people running for president why do all these nobodys think they have something to offer that none of the others do
