What Are Vivek Ramaswamy's Chances of Winning Ohio's Governor Contest?
Ramaswamy is pressing property tax cuts and courting rural voters as polls show a close race and his campaign and allies spend more than $120 million.
- Republican Vivek Ramaswamy campaigned across rural Ohio this weekend, repeatedly highlighting Democratic opponent Amy Acton's refusal to debate him. Acton, the former public health director, stated she will not platform a "serial liar."
- Transitioning from his presidential bid, Ramaswamy is pursuing the governorship by toning down his provocative style, though he continues to rail against "Woke Inc." and "climate-ism." President Donald Trump endorsed him last year.
- During town halls in Darke County, Ramaswamy focused on property tax cuts, a "top-one issue" for his campaign. Voter Darla Medal said she was "leaning toward" him after hearing his "bold campaign promises" in Monroe County.
- Despite Ramaswamy's campaign and allied groups pouring over $120 million into advertising—more than triple Acton's spending—prediction markets showed a 70 per cent chance of Acton winning as of Monday.
- If elected, Ramaswamy would become the state's first Indian-American governor, marking a rare pivot from national politics to state office. Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to campaign in Cincinnati on Wednesday.
