As Biden touts Ohio Intel plant, Rep. Tim Ryan questions his 2024 plans

[867-5309.]

...Asked Thursday if Biden should seek a second term, Ryan told Youngstown, Ohio, network WFMJ, "My hunch is that we need new leadership across the board - Democrats, Republicans, I think it’s time for a generational move."

Ryan, who has broken with the president on some issues, has not asked Biden to campaign with him in the state, but was present at the Intel groundbreaking for the president's remarks.

Pressed later by reporters if Biden should run again, Ryan said that was up to the president. “The president said from the very beginning he was going to be a bridge to the next generation, which is basically what I was saying," he said...

I don't like it, but I'm inclined to cut Ryan some slack as he's trying to win in a pretty red state.

1. Yeah, that is the right answer, it is up to Biden. Really disappointed in how unwise some of the

candidates are when falling into obvious media gotcha questions

We should be focusing only on the midterms, and not make potentially divisive remarks about candidates for 2024

2. saw his interview on MSNBC yesterday

and he sounded more republican than democrat.

but he defended the right to choose...

I hope he wins but my god his constituents must be a load of ignorant people.

10. +1. Nt

3. Wasn't he one of the ones trying outs Pelosi as speaker a few years ago?

I get his sentiment toward needing younger bloods in the democratic leadership. But I think these few years have proven that older guards (like Pelosi and president Biden) are also much needed. I still fully believe president Biden will make the right decision whether to seek re-election or not. It's way too early to talk about 2024.

12. Yeah. Had no clue how smart and strategic Pelosi is. Thought he could do her job, lol

I hope he wins but not my favorite democrat.

16. Methinks Ryan has a lean and hungry look. Still lightyears better than Vance.

4. The correct answer to this question is we are in 2022, I'm running for this seat. You'll have to

Ask the President what his future plans are.

13. +1

5. I don't like it. Sherrod Brown wins in the red state of Ohio

And you never hear him out there throwing anybody under a bus. I like Ryan and I guess he has to do what he feels is best for him. I just hope his ambition doesn't come back and bite him in the butt.

[Kingofalldems]

6. Here we go again.

Every single day.

[emulatorloo]

14. Yeah it is very tiresome.

[FrankBooth]

17. Very concerning

Same bs every day.

[emulatorloo]

19. Like clockwork

[budkin]

8. As long as it helps get Tim Ryan elected I don't care n/t

[Just A Box Of Rain]

9. Does it though?

[emulatorloo]

15. +1

Hope he wins, but I don’t think he is as clever as he thinks he is.

[emulatorloo]

11. My 'hunch' is Ryan needs to STFU about Biden.

I feel Ryan can sell himself to Ohio voters on his own merits. He should stick to that.

[CentralMass]

18. That semiconductor bill will ultimately create thousand of jobs in Ohio.

If shunning Biden is what Ryan thinks he needs to do it is a sad commentary.
