During his CNN town hall, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan said he knows workers who used to make $30 to $40 an hour and are now making only $12 to $13 an hour.

Ryan, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, said President Donald Trump says the economy is booming.

"The economy is not booming," said Ryan of Howland, D-13th.

He also said he'd have a litmus test for all judges to ensure they uphold Roe v. Wade.
