Trump-backed Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Brown win Ohio primaries

politics political figures elections political parties

Vivek Ramaswamy has won the Republican primary for governor in Ohio. The former presidential candidate, who received an endorsement from Donald Trump, was handily backed by voters to secure the nomination.

Ramaswamy will face Democrat Amy Acton, a former director of the Ohio Department of Public Health, in the general election this November. The race is expected to be expensive and competitive, potentially resulting in a tight contest this fall.

The election takes place in a state that has been brutal for Democrats in recent years, with no Democrat winning the governor's office in 20 years.

Meanwhile, Democrat Sherrod Brown will get another opportunity to return to the Senate after being defeated in 2024.
