What They’re Saying: The J.D. Vance Campaign “Is Broke,” Tim Ryan “Crushed” J.D. Vance, And Is “Running Circles Around” Him
July 18, 2022
Columbus, OH – J.D. Vance is facing brutal coverage for a brutal fundraising quarter that left his campaign in debt. With a high unfavorability rating, polls showing a dead heat and low fundraising numbers, the problems for Vance’s campaign continue to pile up.
Here’s what they are saying about Vance’s abysmal fundraising numbers:
- “J.D. Vance, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, raised considerably less money in the second quarter than Tim Ryan, his Democratic opponent. Also, Vance’s Senate campaign would have a deficit if not for $700,000 the candidate gave it while a joint fundraising committee he uses to raise most of his money would have only a $91,626 surplus as of June 30 if it paid the outstanding debt it owes.” –David Skolnick, The Vindicator
- “I think legitimately he’s got to crank up his fundraising, and a lot of that’s got to be national. But clearly, they’re still digging out and recovering from the primary, because it was so nasty, twisted and dirty.” –Terry Casey, a Columbus-based Republican strategist to Cleveland.com
- “It’s certainly got to be a wake-up call to the J.D. Vance campaign, because Tim Ryan is running circles around him right now.” –Ohio Republican strategist to Cleveland.com
- “But in the money game, Vance’s opponent has the upper hand.” –Haley BeMiller, Columbus Dispatch
- “The J.D. Vance campaign is broke.” –Roger Sollenberger, The Daily Beast
- “Vance showing some low fundraising numbers.” –Jonathan Lemire on MSNBC
- “But his campaign, totally broke.” –Gabby Orr, CNN
- “Tim Ryan…crushed GOP nominee J.D. Vance in the campaign cash dash…” –Paul Steinhauser, Fox News
