good day. i m chris jansing live in beautiful cleveland, ohio. this state home to one of the most critical and close races in the country. you can t go anywhere without finding someone with a strong political opinion. that doesn t mean their minds are made up. how many of you have decided on every single person you re going to vote for? no. i talked to a panel of cleveland area voters. all of them still waiting to cast their ballots about why they are still on the fence and whether the brutal attack might play a role in pushing them off. as we speak, the candidates are in five senate races separated by three points or less, including tim ryan and j.d. vance. but are voters happy with the choices that are out there? we ll talk about that and why millions of voters are identifying as independents and living their tickets potentially, a phenomenon not just in ohio but critical races around the country that could make a difference. finally, the message voters want to send to ca
That s what s awesome about tim ryan. we need another quarterback leader in our senate. co saturday used to campaign with mike dewine back in 2018. now he is hitting the trail with senator portman for jd vance. what is your feeling for having covered them on the ground? what s it feel like to you? is it clear who is moving ahead? man, you re putting me in a tough spot. we have to look how they styled themselves. both vance and ryan want you to think each is an extremist. ryan is trying to make people forget he is a democrat. there are some republicans, whether it has stuck with them, whether 59 times it stuck with them. vance told henry gomez that in an interview. that is something he has worked
To vote for who is the best candidate and now we vote for who is not the worst. i don t know why it went to that. funny and sad. that is why the senate race here in ohio is still anyone s to win or lose. republican j.d. vance and democrat tim ryan remain lock indeed a heart-stoppingly close contest. jesse kirsch is here following this very closely. you could feel a sense of urgency. they asked me if i was a browns fan. lifelong heartbreak steps from the stadium. i could touch that practically. tim ryan dropped this with cleveland browns quarterback and local icon bernie co saturday. let s watch. whether you re a democrat or republican, there s been way too much extremism the last couple of years.
