Tim Ryan for VP consideration? I dunno... nt

45. I do. He is. And there was another. I was next door helping Thomas McDermotts Senate campaign against Todd Young in '22

Young co-sponsored the CHIPS act with Schumer so money for Mayor Thom's campaign was hard to come by to say the least. McDermott campaigned in every one of the 92 counties in IN TWICE, Young hardly left DC or his house. Refused all debate challenges. It was actually a pretty close race until the NRA dropped like 15 million into Youngs war chest so he could blast the airwaves the last 45 days of an off cycle election. You'd of thought the mayor of the city next door to mayor Pete's (and the 2 know each other well), a Navy Vet, raised in N CA, would've gotten a little more help. While I'm not accusing the party of anything, you are so correct. If you're going to run for Senate as a Democrat in OH or IN you better bring the biggest guns you got on your own and not expect a whole lot of help. And you can't, I repeat CAN'T run without that huge war chest, and you HAVE to run as a moderate Democrat at minimum because the repukes have so unfairly gerrymandered both states heavily in their favor. The big money goes elsewhere. Maybe it should I guess, maybe? Regardless, we get left in the dust and told to move out of our red trailer park infested hell holes (yes, my state has been described that by someone on DU who "drove through" it).

This election may go over 10 billion dollars spent up and down the ticket. It makes me vomit.
The big money has to go away period.
