Vivek Ramaswamy is running for Governor of Ohio, and polls show a toss-up race.
One video just put Ramaswamy’s campaign in danger.
And Vivek Ramaswamy insulted Jesus in one awful moment that was caught on tape.
Polls show Ramaswamy is locked in a nail-biter race in a state Trump turned ruby red with Amy Acton, the former state health director who imposed tyrannical COVID lockdowns and mandates.
Ramaswamy is struggling in Ohio because he can’t connect with voters on a personal level, as it often appears that Ramaswamy just doesn’t like working-class Americans.
A viral video from Ramaswamy’s Presidential campaign, where a voter asked him about Jesus and denied that Jesus was the Son of God.
‘So I’ll be very honest, it’s not a hard question. In our faith tradition, Jesus Christ is the son of God,’ Ramaswamy said to man during a campaign event in Nevada, Iowa. ‘I know that is different than saying he is the son of God. But that is my view of Jesus Christ.’
‘The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ,’ the voter replied.
Ramaswamy then told the man that believing Jesus was the Son of God was the only path into heaven.
‘That is a path to heaven, is the way we look at it,’ Ramaswamy declared. ‘Belief in God is what we say. Belief in the one true God.’
Resurfaced clip of Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy explaining to an Iowa voter that Jesus is a “god”, similar to the Hindu or Roman polytheistic religions, but Jesus is not “The” Son of God, rather one of many ways to Heaven.

This isn’t the first time Ramaswamy has insulted voters.
In a December 2024 X post, Ramaswamy defended tech companies replacing American workers with H1B visa holders from China and India by claiming American parents raise their children to be lazy mediocrities.
“A culture that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zach & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ will not produce the best engineers,” Ramaswamy wrote.
“More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of ‘Friends.’ More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less ‘chillin.’ More extracurriculars, less ‘hanging out at the mall’,” Ramaswamy added.
Ramaswamy went on to say that since American parents tolerate mediocrities, they will raise mediocre children.
“Most normal American parents look skeptically at ‘those kinds of parents.’ More normal American kids view such ‘those kinds of kids’ with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve,” Ramaswamy exclaimed.
Democrats haven’t won a state-level race in Ohio since 2006.
There is now real concern that Democrats, even with a candidate who was the face of the now-reviled COVID authoritarianism, could end that streak.
But Ramaswamy’s elitist attitudes towards Americans are failing to land with voters in a state that Republicans should win handily.
