Ryan, Vance At Odds On Abortion, Jan. 6 At Ohio Senate Debate
Newsy
Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican challenger JD Vance clashed in their heated second debate ahead of the November midterm elections.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican JD Vance deflected accusations of being political lapdogs to their parties Monday, as they met in a heated second debate for Ohio's open U.S. Senate seat.
Vance used the face-off hosted by Youngstown’s WFMJ-TV to push back against a bit of Ryan name-calling from their first debate last week.
Vance, a venture capitalist and author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” said former President Donald Trump was only making a joking reference to a newspaper article when he said Vance had been “kissing my a--” for an endorsement. Vance said everyone at the political rally where Trump made the remark understood it that way.
