Senate candidates Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan and Republican JD Vance faced off Monday in their second fiery debate, clashing over the issues of this election – the economy, abortion, the border and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
President Donald Trump won Ohio by eight points
Ryan, who is currently serving his tenth term in the House representing Ohio's 13th Congressional District, which includes Youngstown, has focused his campaign on the economy and manufacturing – while also taking aim at China. He has attempted to distance himself from Democrats in control in Washington as they face headwinds heading into the midterms amid soaring inflation and with President Joe's Biden's approval rating being underwater in the state.
The pair also clashed on abortion rights. In the previous debate, Vance said the 10-year-old Ohio girl who had to go to another state to get an abortion – a story that made national headlines – should have been able to get an abortion. On Monday, he was asked what other exceptions he would support, having previously rejected exceptions for rape and incest.
Last week, the House Jan. 6 committee voted to subpoena Trump. Ryan said Trump should respond to the subpoena. Vance said he would not pretend to give the former president legal advice. The candidates also clashed over immigration. Vance accused Democratic leadership of wanting more immigrants, claiming it would mean Republicans are never able to win another election. Ryan responded accusing Vance of running around with those talking about replacement theory.
