Portman was considered a possible pick for Vice President on the Republican presidential ticket in 2012.[93][94] After the selection of Paul Ryan, Portman spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention about trade and his family business.[95] On trade agreements, Portman stated: "President Obama is the first president in 75 years-Democrat or Republican-who hasn't even sought the ability to negotiate export agreements and open markets overseas. Now why is this important? Because 95 percent of the world's consumers live outside our borders. And to create jobs, our workers and our farmers need to sell more of what we make to those people."[95] On October 13, 2012 Mitt Romney spoke at and toured the Golden Lamb Inn.[96]In August 2011, Portman was selected by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to participate in the United States Congress Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction.[87] During the committee's work, Portman developed strong relationships with the other members, especially Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Chris Van Hollen.[88] The committee was ultimately unsuccessful, with Portman left disappointed, saying "I am very sad about this process not succeeding because it was a unique opportunity to both address the fiscal crisis and give the economy a shot in the arm."[89] Portman spoke at the May 7, 2011 Michigan Law School commencement ceremonies, which was the subject of criticism by some who opposed his stance on same-sex marriage and other agendas.[90]
Portman has sided with his party's majority in 90% of his House and Senate votes; only four Republican Senators vote more consistently.[91] While in the Senate, Portman has visited Afghanistan twice, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Jordan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates; additionally, he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[27] Portman delivered the eulogy at the August 2012 funeral of Neil Armstrong.[92]
