Vivek Ramaswamy Faces Backlash and Tightening Race in Ohio Governor Campaign
Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American Republican candidate for Ohio governor, faces a tightening race against Democrat Amy Acton ahead of the November election. His campaign drew bipartisan criticism after airing a controversial ad featuring Acton's estranged mother, which was later withdrawn amid backlash. Ramaswamy also confronts scrutiny over racial and religious prejudice affecting voter attitudes. Despite initial strong primary support and endorsements from Donald Trump, recent polls show Acton leading in the traditionally Republican state.
