Tim Ryan's quest for the 'yoga vote'

Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, reportedly thinks his ticket to higher office is the “yoga vote.” What, exactly, that means is unclear. But Ryan’s ambitions are serious, and that means his theory is likely to be tested soon.

Ryan is an endangered species— a Democrat in the Rust Belt. He’s gotten a lot of mileage out of it since 2016. Based on reports this month, Ryan either wants House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s, D-Calif., job, or Donald Trump’s. According to a new report in The Intercept, the congressman, who represents a district in northeastern Ohio, “has been telling political consultants and operatives that he intends to run for president” and is even “beginning to put together a team.”
