There are numerous data points that suggest Tim Ryan and Nan Whaley are in for a very tough climb if they want to become the only Democrats other than Sen. Sherrod Brown to win partisan statewide office.
Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, running for an open U.S. Senate seat in Ohio, speaks to supporters after the polls closed on primary election day Tuesday, May 3, 2022, in Columbus, Ohio.
