Vivek Ramaswamy Leads Ohio GOP Primary With 71% Support

Vivek Ramaswamy is leading the Republican primary for Ohio governor with 71% of the vote, a significant increase attributed to President Trump's endorsement in February. According to internal polling by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, Ramaswamy has a 60-point lead over his closest competitor, Jim Tressel. Prior to the endorsement, Ramaswamy had already shown a strong lead, but his support surged after Trump highlighted his qualities on social media. Trump described Ramaswamy as 'something SPECIAL' and expressed confidence in his ability to govern effectively. Ramaswamy's campaign has positioned him as a strong proponent of conservative values, aiming to succeed the term-limited Governor Mike DeWine. The recent polling reflects a broad recognition among Republican voters of Ramaswamy's association with Trump, boosting his visibility and support.
