(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) Democrat candidates in Ohio and Pennsylvania have distanced themselves from President Joe Biden and his totalitarian-style campaign speech, with Senate candidate Tim Ryan admitting that the “Democratic brand…is not good.”
Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, has sat in the House as a Democrat for two decades, but now he has to ignore or downplay the party’s platform to have a chance at winning in November, The Daily Wire reported.
CNN Host Manu Raju asked Ryan why he does not “emphasize” that “he is a Democrat and often votes with President Biden.”
“Yeah, well, I mean, the Democratic brand, as we know, and you and I have talked about this for a long time, is not good in a lot of these places,” Ryan said.
Yet, Ryan’s rhetorical separation from the Democrat Party has not translated to a moral or political separation from its radical ideology. Talking with Raju, Ryan posed as an independent or Blue Dog Democrat.
“What I want people to know is in this environment, do you have the guts to take on your own party?,” he asked. “And from my vantage point for me, it’s a resounding yes.”
Despite his professed partisan independence, Ryan has a far-Left, party-line voting record.
He voted to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state, to authorize the federal government to control state elections, to legalize millions of illegal aliens, to preempt abortion restrictions in the states and to spend $3.5 billion on Biden’s Build Back Better Act, which paid off rich Democrat donors.
In Pennsylvania, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro and Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman both skipped Biden’s dark speech that was delivered in their backyard. To illustrate the divide, Biden mixed up the candidates and the offices that they are seeking, the Daily Caller reported.
Biden confuses which offices Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman are running for:

Earlier this year in the West and South, Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams failed to appear with Biden at major events.
