Ramaswamy clinches GOP nomination for Ohio governor, setting up Acton showdown
Vivek Ramaswamy won the Republican nomination for Ohio governor in unofficial results, defeating Casey Putsch and advancing to a November contest against Democrat Amy Acton. 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.
