Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says a tense moment unfolded when he tried to greet his Democratic opponent Amy Acton at an event attended by a large crowd. Ramaswamy said Acton’s team was prepared for his approach, claiming they 'flanked her' and formed a circle around her before blocking him from reaching her. 'That’s not America,' Ramaswamy said while recounting the encounter. The remarks have drawn attention as the two candidates campaign for the Ohio governor’s race. #VivekRamaswamy #AmyActon #Ohio #OhioGovernor #OhioPolitics #Ramaswamy #Acton #OhioElection #OhioGOP #Republicans #Democrats #USPolitics #Election2026 ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
