10. Vivek Ramaswamy wins Ohio GOP governor primary per Columbus Dispatch

Edit---forgot to say Dr Acton was uncontested in the Dem Primary

snip-"It's official: Republican entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will face off against Democrat Dr. Amy Acton in the race to replace Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.

Ramaswamy, 40, of Upper Arlington, easily defeated his primary foe, Casey Putsch, after a roller coaster GOP primary that started in early 2025. Ramaswamy said the victory projected strength and unity among Republicans headed into what could be a competitive general election.:

snip-"Ramaswamy’s victory was sealed with early support from President Donald Trump, the Ohio Republican Party, DeWine and a plethora of GOP elected officials. Ramaswamy, a biotech billionaire, recently tapped into his personal wealth to loan his campaign $25 million.

Ramaswamy consolidated GOP support last year, forcing Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost out of the race. Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, a former Ohio State University head football coach, considered, but ultimately didn’t pursue, a gubernatorial bid."

[niyad]

32. casey putsch? I think I would have changed my last name.

[Abolishinist]

35. Well, at least his first name isn't Beerhall.

[niyad]

38. True

[LeftInTX]

37. Ugh....Ramasmarmy or Ramaswampy or Ramaswarmy whatever nickname fits him best.

I think swarmy fits him best...

[LisaL]

19. This was a primary.

Both parties voted for their candidates.

[dave99]

21. Too many whites in Ohio

[LisaL]

22. And what does that have to do with a price of tea in China?

Republicans actually nominated a guy who is not white for Governor's race.

[JI7]

25. That's why he will lose. Actually being Hindu

Is the bigger reason he will lose.

[LisaL]

26. We will have to wait and see.

[Skittles]

39. what are you hoping?

[LisaL]

41. Obviously that Amy Acton wins.

What else?

[Skittles]

42. not sure

[FascismIsDeath]

33. As a person who has lived in Ohio for almost 30 years, I think the rednecks outside of the blue dots...

....are gonna have a hard time figuring out if they will vote for a center-left Democratic woman who was advising our current GOP governor during COVID vs a smarmy billionaire that happens to also be Indian and practices Hinduism and has over the top televangelist hair.

[LisaL]

34. Well, maybe rednecks will just stay home then.

One can hope.

[LeftInTX]

48. Yes, he does have televangelist hair and teeth.

India has it's share of sketchy Hindu "TV spiritualists".

The first guy looks alot like Jim Jones



https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/etimes/trending/5-popular-indian-spiritual-leaders/photostory/111459796.cms

The rednecks will still vote for Ramaswampy.....

[Diamond_Dog]

51. You nailed it, FascismIsDeath.

Lifelong Ohioan here.

[OhioBack2Blue]

54. Gov Mike Dewine "my call" ....recently & publicly came out...

...and stated that the "stay at home order" was 100% his decision.

I know MAGA prefers fiction to fact but there it is.

[FascismIsDeath]

55. Yea, I know. 1. Facts don't matter with these people. 2. He made the right call

[OhioBack2Blue]

53. Not to sure about that....

65 county sheriffs from across Ohio announced their endorsement of Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor on September 24, 2025 and were recently running ads to state this.

The sheriffs are affiliated with the militias and the MAGA muscle in Ohio. The enforcers so to speak.

[ShazzieB]

56. You say that like Ramaswamy losing would be a bad thing! 😉

Seriously, he's a jerk!

[blue-wave]

13. This

is VERY good news!!

[LisaL]

18. There was no doubt that he would win his primary.

NT

[Skittles]

40. so?

can't we just have our wins?

[LisaL]

44. I don't count a primary as a win.

Especially considering there was very little doubt Brown was going to end up as the nominee and Acton was running un-opposed. There was no surprise here whatsoever. But nobody is stopping you from doing so.

[Skittles]

45. YOU don't

others do, no need to rain on it

[Norbert]

16. Brown has run a good campaign

He has had TV spots linking Husted to Epstein.

[LisaL]

17. He won a primary.

We will find out if his ads against Husted worked in November.

[Norbert]

28. Been reading Ohio will have some surprises

Brown is right at the top. I'm thinking people are already having buyer's remorse about Bernie Moreno getting in. Husted calling him a liberal the next 5.5 months is not going to carry as much weight this time around.

[Figarosmom]

23. Good let's get him back where he should be👍

[surfered]

24. Glad to hear. He's a good guy.

[FakeNoose]

27. Note to Ohio Dems: Now the REAL work begins

Sherrod cannot get back into the Senate unless every one of you is committed to help. This was the easy win, but it will be harder in November. You can make this happen, and get Sherrod Brown back to the Senate where he belongs!

[calimary]

47. THIS!!!

[LoisB]

29. Yay!

[mikewv]

30. Now we need a billionaire or several millionaires (nm)

nm

[OMGWTF]

31. Sherrod Brown is the OG Good Guy! He belongs in the Senate. So, Mote it be.

[orleans]

36. so glad to hear this! nt

[Abolishinist]

43. We met Sherrod Brown several months ago at a fund-raiser hosted by a long-time

Democrat, who was one of the largest bundlers for Obama. We've attended many of her events, most recently for Josh Turek, Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, and my favorite, Jamie Raskin. Many more in past years, such as Nancy Pelosi, Mark Kelly, and Pete Buttigieg.

The Sherrod Brown you see on the TV is the same one we met and listend to, he's very down to earth. He repeated that he never intended to run again, but considering the current administration he feels it's his duty to do so. OK, but I also believe that once this is in your blood its hard to opt out. Regardless, I thinks he's the best we have to take back this very important Senate seat.



She always does a nice display! Have a cookie!

[Omaha Steve]

49. Kick

[wolfie001]

50. Boy, barely got by

Sherrod was always one of my faves when explaining common sense to stupid repuke senators. I hope he prevails in the fall. Maybe Ohio has finally figured out they fucked up by relying on traitorous repukes.

[RandySF]

52. I think Alaska is the better opportunity.

[Bibliovore]

57. All the better if we can win both!
