Ramaswamy will win Ohio GOP primary for governor, ABC News projects
He'll face Democrat Amy Acton, the former state public health director.
Businessman and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will win the GOP primary for Ohio governor, ABC News projects.
Ramaswamy will face Democrat Amy Acton in the general election in November. Acton, who was unopposed, gained prominence in the state for leading the early response to the COVID-19 pandemic after she was appointed by Republican Gov. Mike Dewine as the state's top health official.
And ABC News projects that former Sen. Sherrod Brown will win the Democratic Senate primary in the state and will face Republican Sen. Jon Husted, who was appointed to fill the remainder of Vice President JD Vance's term.
Brown, who lost his Senate seat to now-GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno in 2024, easily defeated his primary opponent Ron Kinkaid, who raised less than $50,000 for his campaign.
While there are only a handful of competitive primaries in Ohio this cycle, they'll set the stage for some key races in the general election that could help determine which party controls Congress next year.
