  "summary": "Democrat Amy Acton is projected to become Ohio's next governor, defeating Republican Vivek Ramaswamy. According to AP, Acton won 50.8% of the vote with 86% of votes counted, while Ramaswamy earned 45.9%. This victory marks the first time in two decades that a Democrat has been elected to the governorship in Ohio.\n\nThe race gained national attention following a controversial attack ad released by Ramaswamy during the closing days of the campaign. The seat became an open battle because the incumbent Republican Governor, Mike DeWine, was restricted from running again due to term limits.\n\nDecision Desk HQ reported Acton leading by 4 percentage points, at 50 percent to 46 percent, with 76 percent of the vote reported. Before the election, the Cook Political Report shifted its analysis of the race from \"Lean Republican\" to \"Toss Up,\" and eventually to \"Lean Democrat\" on October 23.",
