Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, who jumped into the crowded 2020 presidential contest on Thursday, is heading to his hometown of Youngstown this weekend to formally launch his campaign.
In making his 2020 run official, Ryan told a story of his daughter calling him a few weeks ago in tears because one of her friend's father was transferred from a local General Motors plant."My daughter called me and she said, 'You got to do something.' And I said, 'I'm going to do something. I'm going to run for president of the United States. We're going to make sure this doesn't happen anymore,'" Ryan recalled.
He noted he grew up in a town where he "didn't know a lot of black people," before adding, "I represent the city of Youngstown, and the city of Youngstown is 50 percent African American, and the number one lesson that I learned is how much I did not know about the experiences of people of color in a community that was not that far from my own."
