"WASHINGTON — At different points during Monday night’s debate, the two candidates to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate favorably referenced Rob Portman, whose imminent retirement leaves open the seat now furiously contested by Rep. Tim Ryan, the Democratic nominee, and his Republican opponent, J.D. Vance.
At a time of intense polarization, Sen. Portman harks back to a somewhat more moderate mood in Washington. Never much of a Trump administration critic, Portman was instrumental in brokering a deal on President Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure bill. He was also one of only two Republicans in the Senate to vote in favor of confirming Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Though an unabashed conservative, Portman does not engage in conspiracy theories or Twitter feuds.
Ryan and Vance each tried to cast themselves as similarly moderate, focused on restoring Ohio’s standing as a manufacturing epicenter while curbing crime and the fentanyl epidemic. With only one debate scheduled between them, and polls showing the two in a virtual tie, Monday was an opportunity for the kind of moment that can boost a candidate across the finish line.
Ultimately, neither Ryan nor Vance achieved the goal. Each threw hard but predictable jabs at the other’s professional record, with Ryan depicting Vance as a Silicon Valley elitist and Vance criticizing Ryan for the two decades he has spent in the House of Representatives.
“I wish that you were the reasonable moderate you said you were,” Vance said of Ryan, whom he lashed tightly to Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, exaggerating the congressman’s positions on abortion, immigration, racial justice and transgender rights.
“The extremist here, Tim, is you,” Vance said during one heated exchange."
