Tim Ryan, the Ohio congressman who challenged Nancy Pelosi to be House minority leader in 2016, is ready to chase another of America’s top political offices: He’s officially running for president in 2020.
Ryan announced his bid through a new website, moments luxo cover iphone 6 before he was set to appear on ABC’s The View to make his formal announcement.
On his campaign website, Ryan outlines amazon cover samsung galaxy s 7 his decision to run immagini per cover iphone 5s for president and specifically amazon cover samsung galaxy grand neo plus cites the closure of a General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio, which is in the congressional district he cover samsung tab 311 represents.
“When our local GM factory was shut down last Thanksgiving, I got a call from my daughter who was consoling her friend whose father was an autoworker and was just laid off. My daughter said to me, with tears in her voice, ‘You have to do something,'” cover e pellicole iphone 5s Ryan wrote.
“That’s why I am running for president,” he added. “It’s time to do something.”
Ryan is staking cover samsung t515 out a position as the candidate best suited to outmaneuver cover samsung j5 acchiappasogni President Donald Trump in one of cover samsung s9 rispondere senza aprire his key strengths in 2016. Trump spent that election promising to save manufacturing jobs in America’s Rust Belt cover iphone 4 personalizzata and Midwest, and he won states amazon cover samsung s 2 plus including Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
But factory closings have still cover in legno iphone 6s happened during Trump’s presidency, and now Ryan is taking aim at Trump for cover samsung galaxy tab a 8.0 something the president promised would never happen under his watch: manufacturing cover samsung galaxy grand neo juventus plants cover samsung galaxy j1 amazon in Ohio going dark and employees losing their jobs.
Ryan’s message Trump hasn’t kept his promise. But the Ohio congressman a close ally to unions and organized labor in his district is vowing he will.
“There’s so much change globalization, automation, cultural I don’t really alien cover iphone cover samsung s4 moschino think best cover samsung either party has really wrapped their arms around all of these dynamics and put a cohesive message together,” Ryan told Vox last year. “Trump obviously did it in a concise way, but he hasn’t delivered on any of that stuff. He promised, but he kind of got what iphone 4s bianco cover justin bieber the main problem was, but no solution anywhere near helping solve those problems.”
GM’s Ohio plant closure hit close to home for Ryan
Last November, GM announced that it would shutter up to cover samsung strane five plants in the US cover samsung note 3 neo n7505 and Canada as part of a restructuring plan to cut costs by $6 billion by 2020. One of the plants it said it would close was Lordstown and it did just that on March 6, resulting in about 1,500 workers being laid off. GM made the Chevy Cruze, a small sedan, there, cover thun iphone 5s and the plant had been limping along for a while as the demand for those types of cars among American consumers cover iphone x rossa has fallen.
Ryan called GM’s announcement on the closure “devastating” and slammed the company. “Thousands of families have sacrificed to build GM into what it is today. And in return, GM has turned its back on us when we need them the most,” cover samsung galaxy s3 cover full body iphone 6s juventus he said.
Trump, too, has weighed in on the plant closure and tried to push GM to reopen it. He has prodded GM CEO Mary cover con strass iphone 6 Barra to find a solution and tried to blame local union leaders for the closure. iphone cover mold (Trump did not, however, respond to two letters from union leaders asking for help on the plant.)
Ryan has urged Trump to request funding for a Department of Energy book cover samsung note 10.1 domestic manufacturing conversion amazon cover samsung tab 3 grant cover samsung galaxy a3 2016 mediaworld program, which provides grants and loans to car manufacturers looking to produce hybrid and advanced diesel vehicles, arguing that GM’s Lordstown plant would be a “prime candidate” for the money.
Thus far, GM has not reversed course on the plant closure. And a month after the facility shuttered, he’s announcing his presidential bid.
Ryan’s platform is tailored to “the solutions that exist”
“It’s time for us to start building the America we deserve,” Ryan’s presidential website reads. “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.”
Ryan is planning to cover apple iphone 5s particolari run on his experience as a Democrat who has represented a working class Ohio district since 2003. Ohio is a swing state that has seemed to trend more red in recent cycles; it went for Obama in 2008 and 2012, but went red for Trump in 2016 and showed few signs of swinging back to blue during the 2018 midterms. Ryan, cover samsung s 8 clear cover who says he counts Trump supporters among those who voted for cover samsung s6 fronte retro him, believes he can appeal to both cover samsung s8 sons of anarchy parties.
As cover iphone sughero e silicone such, his opening pitch to voters siti per cover iphone 5s doesn’t contain calls for Medicare for all or tuition free college. Instead, Ryan is casting himself as cover samsung s8+ amazon someone looking for sensible solutions to the problems America faces in rising health care and education costs and saving good paying manufacturing jobs….
