Story summary

On November 5, 2026, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis criticized Vivek Ramaswamy, who lost the Ohio gubernatorial race to Democratic candidate Amy Acton by 7.9 percentage points. Speaking on a podcast, DeSantis said that Ramaswamy was out of touch with working-class voters in Ohio and questioned why he had been chosen as the Republican nominee. Despite President Donald Trump's endorsement and support from Vice President JD Vance’s top advisers, Ramaswamy's campaign struggled amid what was seen as a "blue wave" across the country. DeSantis emphasized that Ohio is a blue-collar state and suggested that Ramaswamy, known for his tech background and business ventures like Roivant Sciences and Strive Asset Management, lacked the necessary appeal to resonate with voters there.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
