Hillary Clinton is among those calling for congressman Tim Ryan to run for an open Ohio Senate seat in 2022.
On MSNBC Saturday, Ryan said he's "looking closely" at running following Republican Sen. Rob Portman's recent decision not to seek a third Senate term.
Clinton echoed a call for Ryan to run from Kathy DiCristofaro, chair of the Ohio Democratic Women's Caucus saying, "I'm all in."
“You’re right, Kathy!” Clinton replied in a quote tweet.
Ryan backed Clinton in the 2016 presidential primary and also allied with her in 2008.
Portman said he made his announcement early to allow republicans to begin the campaign on what seems to be a difficult battle for the seat in 2022
