Rep. Tim Ryan, the Ohio Senate candidate for the Democratic Party, lifted a cold one during an interview on Monday night, the eve of the midterm elections.
The candidate was finishing an interview discussing his opponent, Republican candidate J.D. Vance, when he produced a can of Miller Lite on camera, promising to win Tuesday’s election, according to MSNBC.
“We’re going to bring it home, Lawrence,” Ryan said while raising his drink. “We’re going to bring it home.”

Tim Ryan raises beer in interview
Monday night’s interview was not the first time Ryan has shared his affinity for the beer brand. On Oct. 29, the candidate posted a GIF of him toasting a cup of beer at a sports bar, writing that there is “always time for a Miller Lite and some football.”

Ryan accused his opponent of not caring about “the future of rural Ohio” and how Republicans claim they want to get rid of Social Security. The candidate warned that people should listen to what Republicans are saying about Social Security, as they had said for years they wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade, which happened in June earlier this year.
