Vance Rallies for Ramaswamy and Husted in Tight Ohio Races

Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Swanton, Ohio, on the eve of the 2026 midterms, urging voters to back Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Jon Husted as both faced competitive races. Drawing on his Ohio upbringing, Vance criticized Democrats and cast Republicans as the party of lower taxes and conservative values. A New York Times/Siena poll put Democrat Amy Acton six points ahead of Ramaswamy, while Democrat Sherrod Brown led Husted; a separate polling average also showed Brown ahead. Ramaswamy and the Democratic candidates held their own final-day campaign events across the state.
