Ramaswamy clinches GOP nomination for Ohio governor, setting up Acton showdown

TL;DR

Backed by Trump, Ramaswamy leverages name recognition and a national profile, while Acton runs on affordability and public-health experience from the Covid era. Ohio’s term-limited governor’s seat is up, and the general election is expected to be competitive amid lingering Covid-era politics.
