- In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump carried Ohio’s 6th Congressional District by 30 points. But in a recent special election there, Democratic house candidate Michael Kripchak lost to his Republican opponent by single digits, setting off alarms for Republicans across the country. Mike discusses with Ken how he did it, and why it matters that Democrats run in tough districts.

Turn Blue again Ohio! Let’s Go!
🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Ohio vote 🎶💙 for Joe 💙💙 Biden 💙 and all over the ballot 🗳️💙💙💙💙💙
Vote blue and blue 💙🔵💙🔵 only.
Don't celebrate too early. Nothing is over until after the November election. Everyone needs to be reminded until then why it's important that MAGA is dangerous if the win
I love the color Blue!! 💙💙💙it goes well with everything!
The democratic party needs to support these races.
The DNC is a ghostship, they are not going to support those races. The conspiracy nuts take things too far, but the democrats aren't really interested in winning based on on everything I've seen. Justice Democrats are, the Squad. Maybe this guy should get in touch with Justice Democrats. But the DNC are not interested in winning. Republicans are paid by the lobbyists to win, Democrats are paid by the lobbyists to act like they're going to push back against Republicans but then fold and give in when it's time to vote. And if you don't believe me, look at the voting record vs. rhetoric over the decades. The Democrats had Republicans over a barrel and instead of protecting The Dreamers, the Democrats give-in and let the Republicans have what they want, and The Dreamers get screwed. Obamacare was actually a Republican healthcare plan to make more money for the Health Insurance companies, and Nancy likes to brag about how she's a skilled politician and negotiator for getting that through; Yeah, great job Nancy, you managed to pass a Republican healthcare plan in a bipartisan way! The Democrats always talk the talk and never walk the walk, the Republicans are in lock step, the Democrats are there to make everyone feel good and then take the fall when it's time to actually put up.
Democrats support all races equally... 😂😂
Yeah, but they are so damn lazy.
The DNC doesn't like people like this.
RNC and DNC are corporate controlled.
@@RPSartre01 Huh? It was a -30 district. Why would they spend money there? They'd have better luck just burning the money.
You guys give me hope! Vote for democracy!
Me too…I’m hopeful.
Kansas, and I neither see nor hear the same support at the top. The only signs I see are all down-ballot races by a 10:1 margin over the prior two presidential election years. I wouldn't put a campaign sign on my property, but lots of people do, and most of the people are just sick of the drama and the die-hards are the only ones with the equivalent of the front yard bathtub grotto Madonna statue except to a frigging politician (for those not Roman Catholic, I'm referring to a copy of the historical statue depicting the mother of Jesus, not a strange fan tribute to the Material Girl 😂).
This man is the type of politician we need. He is focused on what the voters need, rather than what he intends to get out of it. I think he has the attitude that guarantees a positive contribution. Thank you for your service, both of you, in the military, as well as the good fight at home. 🇺🇸💙
🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
I completely agree.
What a real person! He really wants to help people.
👍 💯% 🇺🇸
Humble too, kept calling Ken “sir” as if he’s not a veteran himself lol 😂
Congratulations, Ohio desperately needs an honest man. 👏
Uh, he lost.
I do not believe in moral victories by losing. You may use it to point to possible -possible not probable as not enough data exists to calculate solid probability-trends but anything else is spurious and possibly specious.
This politician ran on 22K and almost won! We need more politicians with boots on the ground and talking to the people. This is awesome behavior. Hopefully, all politicians take notes from this.
They are taking Notes!!. THE 💰 🤑 💸 monterrey kind, only WE the People except words the Politicians expect, and except 💸 cash💰 and lot's of IT, we get empty promises and we voters fall for election after election with the same politicians, which makes us the losers and suckers, not our Veteran's and fallon Heroes. 😮😢😅😂🤣🤣🫡🫡🫡
I hope Adam Frisch is paying attention.
Agreed
No. He lost by 9 points. But he closed the gap from like 20 points.
I agree, we need to get money out of politics, for sure!
Fantastic. Michael is showing that he understands people and their needs.
The voters need to see this video. SHARE SHARE, SHARE
If Biden campaigned all over swing states, I think he would win them all. Do the train tour all over rural Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Arizona.
I live in Iowa....I feel your pain. We were one of the most progressive states in the nation. We were the first state to allow women to vote. We were 3rd in the nation to allow same-sex couples to marry. We voted for Obama twice. Then Trump came along and I do not know what happened. I thought I knew my state and my neighbors but, I did not. There was so much hatred and grievance - DT taped into that and 52% voted for Trump and again in 2020. I hope we are moving away from that. There does not seem to be as much enthusiasm for DT this time around. Keep up the good fight. This party needs good people like you.
My dad was born and raised Iowa farmer and he would be ashamed of what his state has become.
It’s Fox News. They captured the old folks and enflamed them with 24/7 outrage provocation feeding into the biases and stoking the fears in the minds of folks with a conservative mindset - radicalizing them to be fanatic advocates for the culture war.
The mission was always to get Republicans elected and they don’t care how much they tear the nation apart.
Obummer happened. Said he would wear comfortable shoes and march with the people but sided with banks and corporations.
And then the wall street walker Hillary.
And Pelosi stock scam.
People are sick of the BS.
So they voted trump.
The racists came out they have always been there Trump gave them permission
Past time for Iowa voters to put Chuck Grassfed out to pasture.
Finally, a real ‘Sir!’ story.
Too right
Please let this Man win! He is What our DEMOCRATS Need.
He is what the country needs.
I agree we need to vote MAGA party out
Vote 🤟💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Michael Kripchak thank you for your service!
it clearly says he lost in a special election. But the very narrow loss, and the very small budget he had means it's a signal of what Republicans might expect. WE want moderate Republicans to win if a Democrat cannot. This is about having a healthy functional democracy, not an authoritarian getting voted in who will END democracy itself.
The message overall is positive. He's going to have another tilt at this.
@@deborahcurtis1385 - his whole approach just seems so constructive and positive. It is so gratifying when folks like him take it upon themselves to run for office, especially now.
Nothing is impossible if voters truly want a change. I suggest they vote for they vote for the candidate they trust, the one whom they feel that listened to their concerns. In this case this man, he will be elected
"The Republican party that Voters once knew NO LONGER EXISTS. It was invaded by the Mega Party and that is passing themselves off as the Republican Party... They are an
Authoritarian party.
Michael Kripchak is spot on when he said that so many working class people feel abandoned. This widespread feeling of abandonment was one of the main reasons Trump won in 2016. Biden/Harris, please take note.
The corporate agenda has used the high inflation transfer of wealth to make President Joe Biden seem weak on the economy...
The Biden campaign needs to highlight all they've done for Americans. It's not just about the fact that Biden brought back our economy post pandemic better than any of our world allies with record job growth, record low unemployment, wages increasing, record stock market highs, Biden has brought about legislation, much of it bipartisan, which directly helps average Americans.
Yes, Ohio felt it especially in rural Appalachia and northern Ohio. I am from southern Ohio, so it is heartbreaking that Ohio went red big time since 2016.
Biden is the most pro-labor President in many many decades. He backed the railway unions when they struck; he walked in a picket line with the auto workers. This guy hasn't been paying attention to where his President is leading.
conservative polices is what caused all the problems these people complain about so they vote for donald trump so the repub can continue the policies that hurt them - and when dems want to help them they scream communism and socialism - blah blah blah- so stop with the bs that dems are responsible - these people reject dem policies then they complain - f them
We're voting straight BLUE across the board in Ohio🎉We are voting for President Joe not the psycho😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😊
I'm with you 110% 💪
Let's win this thing 🇺🇲💙
Americans, we can turn those red gerrymandered districts a beautiful shade of BLUE!!
🇺🇸 AMERICANS UNITE FOR DEMOCRACY! 🇺🇸
I like Blue....it's represents Democracy
Yes!
💯
No more Hat Reds
Blue skies, seas and safe sailing forward. 🇺🇸
Biden/Harris/Ohio 2024
America is embarrassing itself , sort yourselves out
"Too many people have died for us to throw it all away on propaganda and authoritarianism."
This idea is at the heart of why so many are voting BLUE. I have voted in every election and never dreamed that at the age of 70 I'd be voting to preserve our democracy. All the best to Mr. Kripchak. Much respect for his sense of duty and dedication. I'll be watching from California. 💙
[Australians Against Trump] We stand with you America, in these strange and troubled times, VOTE Blue, Mates :) (Y)
❤❤Thank you ❤❤❤❤Ohio U.S.A.❤❤❤❤Vote BLUE ❤❤❤🎉
🇦🇺💜
Thank you neighbor
Listen!! 2 ears 1 mouth.
If you're not rich what's the benefit of voting Republican
Even if you are rich why would you vote Republican, let's get all these Clowns out!!
Racists?
Crazy religious zealots that want to control other people's lives.
Certain people will vote against their own interests if you stroke their sense of superiority. Essentially if you make them feel good about themselves they will believe whatever you tell them.
Now that the single issue abortion voters got their way? No reason at all.
This is the "man" we need to lead the USA. Be confident...it will happen. I believe in you. Thank you!!!
I agree. Though putting man in quotes suggests you are questioning whether he is indeed a man or not. Just sayin'
@nevillehoward8736 no not questioning his manhood, this is the kind of guy who is needed and trying to emphasize this. Maybe *man* or MAN is better for you...putting emPHASis on the syLLABle.
I'm in another country with a rural background, it's people like Michael Kripchak that all countries need in their political systems.
I wish Michael all the best for the future, your country needs you.
Kripchak for Congress !
I hope this gentleman keeps fighting the good fight. He seems sincere and the type of person needed in Congress. Compare him to MTG, Jordan, Comer etc, I know who I'd vote for.
Vote blue 💙 💙 💙 💙
Michael Kripchak - the US needs more people like you. Losing would have hurt, but what a job you did sir. Respect.
Good guy! If I lived in Ohio, would DEFINITELY vote for him. Wish we had more like him in NY!!
Stop gerrymandering now!
That is an absolute MUST! It never should have been allowed.
Michael Kripchak don't stop...........Please don't!!! although u didn't get the "W" special election. you are still a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need u... I live in Florida and we need you......America need YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please stay with US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Michael. I am ashamed of our Democratic party for not supporting your campaign. Please stay in Politics. there is a need for patriots like you. I am an old man now and I know you will win next time.
They did support him,
Maybe not enough
I think it is going to be close only because of a few states 😡 such a shame
The extreme court also made Gerrymandering legal
Talking to potential voters and getting to hear them out and their concerns> the WAY it should be
It takes only the price of a car to almost win against republicans when you're a smart, versatile, creative, progressive engineer of talent and knowhow of politics.
This guy will win the next one, other people like him will go "we can win this???" and some will imitate...
I have been saying since 2016 that you have to get out and meet the voters and meet the voters all over. Biden did not go to rural Appalachia and needed to do some more retail politics in places like Mahoning and say Clermont and other rural/suburban mix counties.
Vote Blue 💙 🗳
I live in England. Keeping an eye on what's happening in the States. Listening to this man speak, his belief, confidence & the honesty shines through too. We need more politicians like him worldwide!
Good job, Ohio……. Vote Blue💙💙
I’m sure it’s not the last we will hear from Kripchak, he’s got a future in Democratic politics!
Biden /Harris 20/24 independent
Seems like a good guy he should run again when the chance arrives
Good for this guy. Thank you fellow Vet for having this guy on.
Statewide Ohio had two elections where far right initiatives were shot down recently.
I hope Mike runs again and wins next time. He's a good man. We need more of him.. 💙
Dear Mr. Kripchak - I am from Illinois, and have to be careful with my money, but I've just contributed to your November campaign. You'll be an outstanding Congressman! This year is the first time in the over 50 years I've been voting that I've contributed to people outside of Illinois, but you and a few others have made me realize that even though my state is solid blue, I _can_ make a difference nationally - and that's more important than it's ever been in this year of crisis. From this one interview, I believe in you. I wish I were wealthy, but I'm doing what I can. Folks like you can turn the crazy state of Congress around. Keep going!
Vote Blue Ohio 💙
not being able to keep a farm in the family is a real eye opener for a city dweller.
It is a huge deal. Yes many are selling farms, but it is because you have to be wealthy to make a farm even generate some real profit. It is a hard venture to make money on without a ton of hard work.
Another young hero. Do not give up young man. There are a lot of old farts this is going to finish. In both parties. We are absolutely going to desperately need those farmers soon.
I live in Ohio, born and raised here. Don’t give up, keep going. We need this state to turn blue. We voted to enshrine the right to an abortion in the state constitution and they are trying to find a way to prevent it. Republicans ignore the will of the people in this state.
Absolutely agree!
Kripchak is exactly the kind of people we need everywhere! Kripchak for congress!! You're an inspiration!
So much talent and integrity in the ranks of the Democrats... Cheers, Simon j.
It’s funny, that ‘sir.’ It’s not reflexive, it’s an honest expression of respect.
I think it's both. I had a supervisor that called me sir. He called most men sir. I did seem reflexive. He is also a USAF veteran. But there were others he never called sir. It wasn't THAT reflexive.
@@beachbum77979 You’re probably right. I know in military families Sir and Ma’am can be de rigeur. I edited something out, “just” (reflexive) to make the point, so I sincerely appreciate your comment. 👍
Fantastic conversation, thank you! Blue all the way!
Don't give up man. The Democratic party needs to wake up and support the grass-roots.and local elections. You are a true human ,trying to right a whole lot of wrongs in Ohio.
GO BLUE! for democracy, equality, DEI, the environment, climate, freedom, for America and the World!
THE U.S. IS A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC NOT A DEMOCRACY. WAKE UP PEOPLE 😳.
The US is a constitutional republic that elects representatives through democratic elections, so yes, we are a democracy, as well as a constitutional republic. We are both, so wake up anonymous commenter.
Every time I hear a Democrat speak, they sound so down to earth. That's such a valuable trait to possess. Mike is exactly that grounded and compassionate. He's policy driven. He wants to solve problems. My folks are from Kansas, so I know the issues farmers deal with. MAGAGA candidates come from deep dark corners of the universe. They don't sound anything like Mike. They can't express anything other than the same MAGAGA BS. Really nice interview. It's a shame Mike lost. He's exactly the type of leader we need.
It's possible let's go Blue I mean Vote Vote Blue Everyone Everywhere
Although I have my hands full here in Florida I am so impressed with Michael Kripchak I made a small donation to his campaign. What an amazing man and candidate. People, let's support him.
This guy gets it. Kudos to you Sir. I'm impressed - by what he did, but also by any person that can talk to others, learn, and change their perspective based on what they've learned. That's so rare.
It’s great to see good people rise up with this kind of approach to the threat against democracy, thank both of you for this needed integrity in journalism and politics.
I used to live in that area. I now live in FL. I talked to family members in that area that are strongly democrat and they said they haven't heard of Michael and had trouble voting! I'm sending this video to my brother now. Vote blue 💙🔵💙
What kind of "trouble voting?" Can you share what happened?
Thank u 🙏 for your service…. actually, twice💙u tried & the real losers, Is that district, theirs….
Don't give up Mike
No wonder he almost flipped that seat, he knows what hes talking about.
As an Ohio resident, I'm so completely discouraged w/how my state has become predominantly led by 'do nothing for my constituents Republicans!' Michael Kripchak has renewed my hope that Ohioans are recognizing a better path - which functions for THEM, serves THEIR needs, and truly makes their lives BETTER!!!
This is one smart cookie! He is the type of representative we need!
it's time to stand up and show the world we are not going to take it anymore. Get out and VOTE BLUE all the way down the Ticket.
Great guy. Sorry he lost
Great job 💯 vote blue
As soon as I hear of the 20 point swing, I have been saying he and his compaign had a solid door knocking campaign.
Only problem is, he still LOST. Moral victories aren't going to save this country from fascism.
So what district are you running in, then?
But he showed people are changing their minds about supporting the MAGA nuts. He got so many more votes than people thought he would.
He has another race in Nov. Don't count him out.
....but made tremendous strides with significantly less resources. Dem party needs to support all candidates it can to win districts back and it takes time to build something.
It's a marathon not a sprint.
Thats what its all about right there! Elected representatives listening to the people and taking their concerns to Washington to get things done for THEM!
Awesome show Ken & Michael. Keep up the good fight for the people in Ohio!💙⚖
Pleade run again keep up the work people need to be heard!!! People need true representatives in office!!!
Thank both of you for your service.
Please run again next time.
The difference between him and ‘still at large’ Marge. Night and day.
I register independent because gerrymandering has to stop. I will vote straight blue now, but in past i voted on merit and record, not party..
Thank you
The UK referendum to Remain or Leave the EU (in 2016) was 'won' by Leave (based on approx 32% of the eligible voters, 52% of those who voted). The 1st district to declare was a former steel-making district, surrounded by coal mining districts. These people felt abandoned and ignored and used the referendum as a protest. This was repeated in the fishing & farming industries, both of which have suffered since leaving the EU.
Unfortunately, it was too serious to be used for this purpose and so the UK has left the UK in an unreversible act of self-destruction.
The leave campaign was underpinned by dark money and the powerful press barons such as Murdoch whose opposition to the EU was based on self-interest (in his case that the UK, uniquely in Europe, allowed him, a foreigner, to have a controlling interest in 3 national press titles and nearly a national television channel. He resented the European countries deniying him the chance to control the narrative).
Wake up USA, get out and vote but realise that in your case the November election can be used as a protest against the threat to democracy that, if lost, like the British membership of the EU, will be almost impossible to reverse for generations. This is not a simple Red/Blue issue, just as Brexit was not.
This is a very well written and thought provoking comment.
Michael Kripchak thank you for your service!
Vote 🤟💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Well done. Who knew listening to people and fighting for their needs can be a winning strategy?
Sounds like a really genuine guy Mick
Fantastic show. Aussies love Meidas Touch.😊
11:26 He needs a CZcams channel!! And we need a Democrat CZcams channel!!
Good news, for some sweet dreams. Thank you 💕 #USAF
Good job mate! don't give up, you're on the right track
(US born, living in Australia)
Well done, sir. You deserved to win.
Great Interview 🤙🌺🌴
Mr. Kirpchak earned himself 4 counts in his pending court martial. Deprogramming is difficult. I enjoyed this video, and the grins every time he called you sir! Thanks Col!
That is an amazing results in just a few months for only $20,000! It really does show that there is hope for our nation, if the electoral college does not wreak havoc. And for State elections I think there will be some red districts turn blue and I think that Democrats will win the house back and retain the Senate gaining some seats there. If, if we don't get complacent and continue to try and get as many new people registered to vote as possible.
I really enjoyed the interview!
The Electoral College does not "wreak havoc", only the people who try to manipulate it do. One of the benefits of the EC is, being a State-wide election, it is immune from gerrymandering. Provided the MAGA types don't use fake Electors or pass legislation saying they can ignore the electoral vote, it's actually a pretty good system for choosing the leader of a Union of disparate States. (Not saying it can't be improved...)
It´s the time to move from states to provinces 👍 The future of United America!
Mr kirpchak... Please run again....
More Michael’s please ❤
Hard to stop calling an office Sir when the respect earned and planted so deep .
Vote for this man
How marvellous in this time of hatred and no manners to hear someone tell the truth and talk about opposing voters with such elegance and showing what it means to actually care for and show respect to the American people regardless of "party" very refreshing and hopefull. Thank you Ken for always having sober and important discussions like this one with Michael Kripchak. I follow us politics avidly from UK and It is so uplifting to have these rage free podcasts. Thank you again.
you ohioans i think you have a winner. he served . and is taking the word of the peeps into congress
♥Good point about the "Sir" title. It hit me straight away when the candidate said that. You are not old! LOL ♥♥
He sounds like an honest and hard working man for the people and not for billionaires
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Your success will increase.
Kudos to one that actually knows who Adam Smith is!
Thank you gentlemen for your service, this 73 year old veteran regained some optimism with this interview , VOTE BLUE!!!
Wow, it's always so different listening to the candidates on either side. One side cares about voters, the other side cares about conspiracy theories.
🌊🌊🌊
Mike, thanks for running, do not stop. 🇺🇲💙💙
I hope when we pass the anti gerrymandering fix in Ohio we will elect both of you. I supported Mr Harbaugh and we have had some grass roots movement.
Michael Kripchak is on the right path! We need to get out there and talk to the people from top to bottom. We have better policies and a better vision for our future! I will definitely be donating to his next campaign. Thank you sir! VOTE BLUE
