Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is trailing Democratic candidate Amy Acton in the closely watched Ohio governor's race as votes are counted in the 2026 US midterm elections. With nearly 40% of the vote counted, early results showed Acton ahead, according to India Today's reporting. The contest has drawn national attention, with President Donald Trump backing Ramaswamy. The race remains a key test for Republicans in Ohio, where voters are choosing a successor to term-limited Governor Mike DeWine.
