Ohio 2026 Primary Election Results

Ramaswamy won the Republican nomination, Acton was unopposed and Brown won the Senate primary, setting up November matchups in a crucial battleground state.

  • On Tuesday, Republican Vivek Ramaswamy won Ohio's gubernatorial primary, setting up a November matchup against Democratic nominee Dr. Amy Acton. Former U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown secured the Democratic Senate nomination.
  • Ramaswamy celebrated his victory in Columbus while Acton advanced unopposed in her party's primary. Brown returns to politics following his 2024 Senate loss, aiming to reclaim the seat held by Republican Senator Jon Husted.
  • Brown's campaign raised $17 million this month, nearly doubling Husted's $8 million haul. Husted was appointed by Governor Mike DeWine in January 2025 to replace Vice President JD Vance.
  • Acton prioritizes medical debt reduction and healthcare access in her platform, while Ramaswamy emphasizes crime reduction in Ohio cities. Both nominees now build ground operations for the November general election.
  • The Buckeye State remains a critical battleground for control of Congress, where voters will weigh Husted's alignment with President Donald Trump's agenda against Brown's working-class priorities. November's outcome will shape Ohio's political trajectory.
