Ramaswamy acknowledged a difficult night for Republicans and urged his supporters to root for Acton and her administration. The two had frequently clashed during the campaign , which Ramaswamy acknowledged had become "bitter at times in both directions." Here's more on what he said. Ramaswamy 'rooting' for Acton, voices 'serious concerns' about country's future pic.twitter.com/Zb8IN3Vd6Y — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) November 4, 2026 Ramaswamy thanked the nearly 2 million Ohioans he said voted for his ticket, along with his campaign staff, volunteers, donors, law enforcement and family. But he also voiced concerns about the country's future. "I would be incomplete if I didn't tell you that I have some serious concerns about the future direction of our country. There's no avoiding that," he told his supporters. "Sometimes these things happen for a reason. God has a plan, we're his instruments." Ramaswamy also spoke on the incoming administration, saying he had called Acton and left a message congratulating her. "We're rooting for the success of this state," Ramaswamy said.

10+ Ohio cities officially ban large data center construction

While bipartisan issues seem rare these days, there seems to be one that a majority of republicans and democrats agree on: they don’t want data centers in their backyards. Especially in Ohio, where we’re known for sprawling green fields and gorgeous wooded acreage. Which, actually, is exactly why developers keep coming to Ohio to seek out a spot for their data centers. Our flat, inexpensive parcels of land make for an especially attractive destination for these centers, plus, the state exempts data center equipment and construction materials from the state sales tax, saving developers hundreds of millions of dollars.

Ohio oil and gas incidents on the rise, new data shows

As Ohio residents continue to push for stronger oversight of oil and gas waste facilities, a new analysis showed more than 2,500 oil and gas blowouts, explosions, toxic leaks and other incidents between 2015 and 2025. The report, released by FracTracker Alliance and Buckeye Environmental Network, combed through 10 years of Ohio Department of Natural Resources records. Gwen Klenke, Midwest program coordinator for the FracTracker Alliance, said state regulators have not stayed on top of tracking and following up on incidents. "Inspectors who look at these oil and gas incidents or look at the oil and gas wells are just really overburdened. It would take them roughly two years to check on every well," Klenke explained. More than 1,200 incidents involve the release of toxic substances, which could pose public health risks, given oil and gas-related fluids, in particular wastewater, may contain toxic PFAS and high levels of radioactivity. Klenke pointed out in January more than a dozen state oil and gas rules will be up for review. Environmental groups are calling on legislators and state regulators to tighten up regulations, given the history of gaps in public reporting and oversight. "Because if this agency can't even handle the tracking
