Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) announced he was dropping out of the presidential race on Oct. 24.

“Im announcing today that I am withdrawing from the Presidential campaign. I got into this race in April to really give voice to the forgotten people of our country. I look forward to continuing that fight. Thank you, to everyone who supported this campaign,” Ryan said in a video statement.

“I wanted to give voice to the forgotten communities that have been left behind by globalization and automation. And Im proud of this campaign because I believe weve done that. Weve given voice to the forgotten communities and the forgotten people in the United States,” he added.

Ryan, 46, was considered a long-shot candidate who failed to get traction with his old-school liberal views amid a field crowded with progressives. He joined the race in April.

“I can win western Pennsylvania, I can win Ohio, and I can win Michigan. That means Donald Trump is going back to Mar-a-Lago full-time,” Ryan said during an appearance on ABCs “The View.”

Ryan last qualified for a debate in July, when he was criticized for not placing his hand on his heart during the national anthem. He instead clasped his hands in front of him.

Ryan said hed be returning to Ohio to run for re-election to keep his congressional seat. He won the 2018 election with 61 percent of the vote. Challenger Christopher DePizzo, a Republican, garnered 39 percent.

Ryan has been in Congress since 2003, representing Ohios 13th congressional district (it was known as the 17th prior to 2013).

Ryan unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for the position of House minority leader after Trump upset former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
