Vivek Ramaswamy has won the 2026 Republican gubernatorial nomination in his home state of Ohio, the Associated Press reports.

Ramaswamy, who grabbed national attention when he ran for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination before dropping out and becoming a top surrogate for President Donald Trump, on Tuesday defeated long shot rival Casey Putsch, an automotive entrepreneur.

His victory sets the stage for a high-profile general election battle for governor in the key midterm Midwestern battleground state.

Now, the multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur and business leader who is backed by Trump will face off in November's general election against Democrat Amy Acton, a doctor and researcher who served as director of the state Department of Health from 2019 to 2020.

Acton was unopposed as she captured the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Ohio.

Oh look, he's facing another Spanberger clone.

Trump needs to find the factory where these things are made and raze it to the ground.

Gee, those Uppity women upset you.

So another easily winnable race is being thrown by the GOP to appease the Orange Man-Baby.

Poor Ohio, they are doomed now.

Oh well, it appears we all are eventually.
