JD Vance's Senate campaign is missing in action in Ohio

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The vulture capitalist who is the GOP nominee in the battle to control the U.S. Senate seat currently held by retiring Ohio Republican Rob Portman appears to be in trouble.

On Thursday, Columbus public station WOSU reported that J.D. Vance "has basically disappeared from public view since his May primary win. There have been no big campaign events, no TV commercials and hardly a media appearance."

Vance is facing Rep. Tim Ryan of Youngstown, who is the Democratic Party nominee.

"Many suspected he was using this slow period campaign to raise money, much of that is done in private. But that does not appear to be the case," WOSU reported. "The second quarter campaign finance report shows Vance raised a mere $2.3 million dollars. That’s less than a third of the $9.1 million dollars Ryan raised during the same time period. While Ryan has $3.5 million in the bank, Vance only has about $630,000 available and he loaned his campaign $700,000."

1. Ah, just like the old days.

A campaign doesn't start up until after Labor Day, if not October.

2. Great news. So why is Ryan begging for money on Facebook?

I’m seeing lots of ads in my feed.

3. Ohio is an expensive place for ads

I think Tim is trying to get a war chest ready for the inevitable barrage of Vance ads that will show up in the fall.

5. Because they have to - you never know when someone will respond. I don't like it but it's what it is
