Ohio’s governor’s seat tilted toward the Democratic Party’s favor, as Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy challenges a rival with broad name recognition. 

The Cook Political Report on Wednesday shifted the race from “Lean Republican” to a “Toss Up.” The development comes as Ramaswamy and Democratic nominee Amy Acton vie to succeed Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) in one of the country’s most closely watched races.
