“The governor's race is a dog's breakfast buffet of terrible, rotten choices. Democrat Amy Acton, whose record as Ohio's health director during COVID inspired the nickname "Dr. Lockdown," is likely to win because she is running against Republican Vivek Ramaswamy … However bad the ad itself was, Ramaswamy's initial doubling down on it and then further vocal support from President Trump and Vice President Vance have all but killed his chances.” — Nick Gillespie on Dr. Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy, The Compleat Nick Gillespie
