Acton defeats Ramaswamy in Ohio governor race
Democrat Amy Acton defeated Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor race, CNN and MS NOW have reported.
The race saw major controversy in the final month after Ramaswamy’s camp released an ad that featured Acton’s estranged mother, saying she lied about her childhood.
Acton’s mother lost custody of her other children decades ago after her husband was indicted for sexually assaulting Amy Acton.
