Can Vivek Ramaswamy win the Ohio governor race?

The Ohio governor race is a closely watched contest, with Republican Vivek Ramaswamy facing Democrat Amy Acton. President Donald Trump and current Governor Mike DeWine, who is term limited, have both endorsed Ramaswamy. The election is crucial, as a Ramaswamy victory would make him the first Indian-American to hold the seat, while an Acton win would be the first time a Democrat has won the gubernatorial position in two decades, and she would also be the first female governor.

Ramaswamy's campaign has faced controversy due to an advertisement featuring Acton's estranged mother, who called her a liar and urged voters not to support her. Despite this controversy, both presidential candidates have expressed their support for Ramaswamy, with Trump even expressing jealousy that he never had the chance to run such an attack on a political rival.
