Former Democratic Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan is calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to take over for President Joe Biden as the party’s 2024 nominee, calling the president’s debate performance “deeply troubling” and evidence the party must move forward. 

Ryan, who once ran for president himself in 2020, has long stood behind Biden and was the first of his challengers in the last cycle to drop out of the Democratic primary to endorse his candidacy. However, now the former congressman is calling on Harris to replace Biden at the top of the ticket.
