Never thought I’d say this, but I think Ryan has an easier path than Beasley or Barnes. It won’t matter because it’s just the wrong year/environment for him, but this really does seem somewhat comparable to MO-SEN 2016 (likely won’t be quite as close as that race, but Vance is underperforming generic R by ~10 points here, which is probably the worst underperformance of any Republican in a competitive race, even more so than Oz's).
You Rs tend to underestimate the blk vote Abbott, DeWine and DeSantis are even pegging with Ds with blk vote about 6% and Vance, Buds are getting zilch
Vance looks like Eric Trump and Don Jr is campaign with Vance not DeWine do you think that Vance is gonna get close to 6% of blk vote with Don Jr, no
The reason why the lead is so large because females are gravitational towards DeWine and Reynolds, DeSantis too but not Vance and Budd
