Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan

The Axe Files with David Axelrod Podcast

A chance meeting with his Congressman during a high school football banquet set Tim Ryan on a path to politics, from a seat in the Ohio Senate, to two decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, to a bid for U.S. Senate in 2022.

Kevin McCarthy’s leadership, and what his own political future holds.
