Ramaswamy, the GOP nominee who crushed his primary with 82% on May 5, faces Democrat Amy Acton in the November 3 race to replace term-limited Gov. Mike DeWine. Polls show a nail-biter, with Acton up 50-49% in one survey and Ramaswamy ahead 48-47% in another, while betting odds favor him at 55%. Critics question his authenticity as a wealthy Hindu biotech entrepreneur born to Indian immigrants, contrasting him with Louisiana's Bobby Jindal who converted to Christianity, amid Rust Belt concerns over race, faith, and elitism. Ramaswamy counters by championing the American Dream, hard work, and plans like cutting Medicaid fraud and boosting manufacturing.

Russia launched a major combined attack using at least 10 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, six Iskander-K cruise missiles, and dozens of Geran-2 drones on Ukraine's Dnipro and Odesa regions into May 18. The strikes targeted areas near Dnipro's Pivdenmash rocket factory and hit residential buildings plus Odesa's port district, with videos showing explosions and fires. Air defenses downed some threats, but more than 80 drones lingered in Ukrainian airspace late into the night; no casualty figures were available early on May 18. This fits Russia's pattern of mixing cheap drones with precision missiles to strain defenses in key industrial and Black Sea cities.
