在周四发布的一段视频中，蒂姆·瑞恩宣布他将结束2020年总统竞选。俄亥俄州代表在长达七个月的竞选后退出了。他说他将竞选连任国会议员，并承诺继续努力为“这个国家的劳动人民”而奋斗。
在视频中，瑞安提到了他加入民主党的原因，包括帮助工人和寻求教育改革。他对推特粉丝说，他的目标是“真正让我们国家被遗忘的人有发言权:被遗忘的工人、被遗忘的企业、需要医疗保健或没有接受优质教育或背负巨额债务的人。”他还说，他“想让全球化和自动化留下的被遗忘的社区有发言权。”
瑞安还表示，尽管他退出了竞选，但他觉得自己的竞选有些成功。他说，“我们已经给了被遗忘的社区和被遗忘的美国人民发言权。”
“这个声音不会被扼杀，”他说。
尽管退出了选举，蒂姆·瑞恩众议员发誓要继续为他竞选时的同样问题而斗争。
瑞安的竞选重点是实施工业政策这将加强制造业，等等提供医疗保健和给工人更高的工资。他在视频中向他竞选的工人发表讲话:“我将继续为这个国家的劳动人民辩护和战斗:白人、黑人、棕色人种、男性、女性。那些每天起床，有时下班后洗澡，但工作非常努力的人。”他后来补充说，“我们将继续努力确保这些工人得到公平对待，他们有机会获得良好的医疗保健，他们有一份稳定的养老金可以退休。”
瑞安关注的另一个关键问题是加强教育系统。在他的演讲中，他讨论了他改善工人生活的计划与他改善教育的计划是如何交织在一起的:“我们将继续努力改变美国的商业运作方式，担心的不仅仅是股东、他们所在的社区、他们资助的学区、工人和环境等商业利益相关者。”
他在视频的最后感谢了他的支持者，“对你们所有人深深的衷心感谢。我期待着继续战斗。”
瑞安是第八位退出总统竞选的候选人。
同为候选人的杨安泽在推特上称赞瑞安，写道“祝贺蒂姆·瑞恩为全国的美国人而战”。我得花时间和蒂姆在一起，他是一个真正的爱国者和有家室的人。让比赛变得更好——他将继续为我们所有人而战。”
OHIO CONGRESSMAN TIM RYAN PULLS OUT OF 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RACE
In a video tweeted out Thursday, Tim Ryan announced that he was ending his 2020 presidential campaign. The Ohio Representative withdrew after a seven-month-long campaign. He said he will run for re-election for his congressional seat, and promised to continue his efforts to fight for "the working people of this country."
In the video, Ryan mentioned the reasons he joined the Democratic race, including to help workers and seek education reform. He told Twitter followers he aimed "to really give voice to the forgotten people of our country: the workers who have been left behind, the businesses who have been left behind, the people who need healthcare or aren't getting a quality education or are saddled by tremendous debt." He also said that he "wanted to give voice to the forgotten communities that have been left behind by globalization and automation."
Ryan also stated that he felt that his campaign was somewhat successful, despite his withdrawal. He said, "We've given voice to the forgotten communities and the forgotten people of the United States."
"This voice will not be stifled," he said.
Despite dropping out of the election, Rep. Tim Ryan has vowed to continue to fight for the same issues he campaigned on.
Ryan's campaign was focused on implementing industrial policy that would strengthen the manufacturing sector, and on providing healthcare and better wages to workers. He addressed the workers he campaigned for in the video: "I will continue to advocate and fight for the working people of this country: white, black, brown, men, women. Those people who get up every day, take a shower after work sometimes, but are working really hard." He later added that "we're gonna continue to fight for making sure that those workers are treated fairly, that they have access to good healthcare, that they have a solid pension to retire on."
Another key issue that Ryan focused on was strengthening the education system. In his address, he discussed how his plans to improve life for workers were intertwined with his plans for better education: "We're gonna continue to try to shift how business is done in the United States, worrying about stakeholders for business, not just shareholders, the communities that they're in, the school districts they help fund, the workers, the environment."
He concluded the video by thanking his supporters, "A deep heartfelt thanks to all of you. I look forward to continuing the fight."
Ryan is the eighth candidate to drop out of the presidential campaign.
Fellow candidate Andrew Yang commended Ryan on Twitter, writing "Congrats to Tim Ryan for stepping up to fight for Americans across the country. I got to spend time with Tim on the trail and he is a true patriot and family man. Made the race better - and he will continue to fight for us all."
