Ramaswamy locked up the Ohio GOP gubernatorial nomination with massive financial firepower and a direct Trump endorsement — a combination that's nearly impossible to beat in a state Republicans have dominated for two decades. With $50 million in total funding and a proven ability to stay on message, Ramaswamy brings youth and energy to the Ohio GOP that it hasn't seen in years.
Ramaswamy is a 53% underdog heading into November, despite Ohio going for Donald Trump by 11 points in 2024 — a stunning reversal that shows just how weak a candidate he really is. Amy Acton is playing offense on kitchen-table issues like housing affordability that actually matter to working Ohioans. Democrats picked the right fighter, and Ohio is trending blue.
