Tim Ryan
Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio announced on April 4 on ‘The View’ that he’s running for president in 2020 as a Democrat. He’s joining possibly the biggest field of candidates in a US election ever; he’s the 18th Democrat to announce they’re running against President Donald Trump. But now he faces the challenge of setting himself apart from the crowd. Ryan is running on the premise of “restoring the American Dream,” which he says President Trump destroyed. Will be be successful in bringing the country back together, and winning the presidency? We have over a year to find out! Ryan, who has served nine terms as a congressman, said his goal “is not that America will become a perfect nation. My goal is that America will be a kinder, more compassionate nation… It’s time for us to start building the America we deserve. An America that invests in public education, affordable health care and an economy that works for all of us. An America united by a shared vision for our future.”
