Friend, Tucker Carlson just backed Tim’s latest Republican opponent, J.D. Vance.

Tucker Carlson has 2.937 million viewers on average. His praise for Vance will boost his profile -- and his fundraising. Will you chip in $5 to help Tim Ryan stay competitive against the national Republicans who have turned their spotlight on our race? It's our last day to hit our July goal!

While Vance still has to compete in the crowded GOP primary, Tucker couldn’t help but pick favorites: "I probably shouldn't say this, I'm really glad you're doing it. I admire you and I wish you luck, very much. Thank you for doing this. Congratulations.”

That’s as close to an endorsement as we could expect at this point in the race. Tucker also said J.D. Vance is making the Republican Party “better.” We know what Tucker means by that: J.D. Vance is a highly effective mouthpiece for the GOP’s BS.

It’s going to take a huge grassroots movement to overcome Tucker Carlson and other national Republicans’ attempts to influence our race -- can we count on you to help Tim Ryan hit his $25,000 goal this month and flip this open Senate seat blue?

-- Team Ryan
