Democratic doctor wins over Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur endorsed by Donald Trump

Amy Acton was elected governor of Ohio on Tuesday – a rare victory for the Democratic party in a state that Donald Trump carried three times.

Acton, 60, led Ohio’s health department through the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic. She will become the first woman to serve as Ohio’s governor. Her defeat of Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur endorsed by Trump, also ends 16 years of Republican control of the governor’s office. She is the first Democrat to win the post since Ted Strickland in 2006.

Last night when Vivek Ramaswamy called Amy Acton to concede the Ohio governors race, he got the Democrat’s voicemail. Acton has not called him back, and the two have not yet spoken. “And there are no plans to,” said a person in the Acton campaign.

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) said Vivek Ramaswamy would be “sent to the dustbin of history” after his loss in the Ohio governor’s race — but that Vice President JD Vance’s legacy would be tied to his support of Ramaswamy.

Democrat Amy Acton reflected on her journey from childhood homelessness to becoming a doctor and now projected as Ohio’s next governor as she celebrated her win over Republican Vivek Ramaswamy. The former state health director will become the first woman elected governor of Ohio.

Democrat Amy Acton defeated Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor’s race, according to the Associated Press. She became the first Democrat to win the office since 2006.
