The moment I had an inkling that Vivek Ramaswamy wasn’t winning over some rural Ohioans was when I asked a group of middle-aged Republican farmers in rural Henry County what they thought about the Governor’s race. All three burst into laughter, shaking their heads and groaning. While they didn’t like Amy Acton’s covid policies, they also had caveats to Ramaswamy - like him being a vegetarian, or a billionaire. One said it a successful businessman might manage the state budget well, but then added it “scares us too, because he could be just crooked.”
