Vivek Ramaswamy’s bid to become Governor of Ohio is faltering. Over the summer he was ahead in both polls and prediction markets, but things have rapidly changed since September. As of writing, his Democratic opponent Amy Acton has pulled ahead in most polls, with prediction market Kalshi now giving her a 79% chance of victory.
Ramaswamy’s campaign has spent the week under heavy bipartisan criticism after producing an attack ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother, Donna Acton. In it, Donna accuses her daughter of being a liar, showing her saying: “Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
