The Downballot: “Vivek Ramaswamy’s disastrous campaign for governor, along with Republican Sen. Jon Husted’s own struggles in his bid for a full term, have given Ohio Democrats reason to hope that they can break the GOP’s 16-year grip on other powerful offices and rebuild their bench in this former swing state.”“Republicans are defending open seats in four statewide races—attorney general, secretary of state, state auditor, and state treasurer—amid a challenging political climate. These posts, along with the governor and lieutenant governor, are known as the state’s executive offices, and Republicans have controlled all six without interruption since the 2010 GOP wave.”
