'Throw hat in the ring' (vứt mũ xuống sàn thi đấu) nghĩa là chấp nhận thách thức (từ ring ở đây là boxing ring), tuyên bố rõ ràng muốn tranh đua với ai, nhất là trong chính trị (to do something that makes it clear you want to compete with other people, especially to compete for a political position).

Ví dụ
At today's news conference, the congressman officially threw his hat in the ring and began his campaign for the Senate.

On April 12th Hillary Clinton officially entered the race for president. This comes 576 days before the general election, and she is not the first to throw her hat in the ring. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have both formally declared on the Republican side. Why do candidates announce so early?
