  "account": "Indian-American Republican Vivek Ramaswamy faced a significant defeat in the Ohio gubernatorial race, losing to Democrat Amy Acton, according to latest US media reports. Acton, a physician and former COVID-19 era state health director, secured the position as the first Democrat elected Ohio governor in two decades and the state's first female governor. She triumphed despite a massive $100 million spending against her, overtaking Ramaswamy by approximately 4 percentage points. Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and politician, would need to secure a significant portion of the remaining vote to reverse the outcome, as he currently trails Acton by about 4 percentage points.",
