With recent polling showing that the Ohio Senate race is effectively a tie, a desperate Tim Ryan recently claimed that he may not back U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to return as majority leader if he wins the seat.
Of course, such a backing or lack of one would require Democrats winning the majority in the Senate, which would be all but assured if Ryan were to win his race.
“I don’t know if I’m going to vote for Chuck Schumer” for majority leader, Ryan told POLITICO in an interview.
Ryan added, “I will get to the Senate and be beholden to absolutely nobody, right? And I will be, probably, a royal pain in the ass when I get there. And that may be a reason why we’re not getting help.”
One Twitter user pointed out, in a response to a tweet by Ryan, however, that “Tim Ryan talks like moderate but Votes with Biden/Schumer all the time!”
Ryan had insisted in the tweet, “If you want culture wars, I’m not your guy. If you want a fighter for Ohio, I’m all in.”

A recent Ohio Northern University poll showed Ryan leading Vance 43 percent to 41 percent, while a USA Today-Suffolk University poll put Vance ahead of Ryan 47 percent to 45 percent.
Vance called out Ryan in a tweet on Thursday for his partisanship as he said, “Here’s Tim Ryan, the pretend moderate, calling for a release of half of all federal inmates.”
“This is dangerous, and we need to vote to reject it in November,” Vance declared.

“I don’t know if I’m going to vote for Chuck Schumer” for majority leader, Ryan told POLITICO in an interview.
Yes. He is only 99% certain he would vote for Schumer. The 1% doubt is so he can claim he doesn’t “know”.
