维韦克·拉马斯瓦米在多项民调中落后于民主党对手埃米·阿克顿，进入了俄亥俄州的投票日。这场竞选既是对他自身政治主张的考验，也是对一名印度裔美国共和党人能在一个其部分基本盘对种族和宗教表现出不安的政党中走多远的检验。《华盛顿邮报》发现了他在线上面临的种族主义辱骂，以及一些选民对由一位印度教徒担任州长存有疑虑。
Vivek Ramaswamy goes into polling day in Ohio behind his Democratic rival, Amy Acton, in several polls. The race tests his own politics, and it also tests how far an Indian-American Republican can go in a party where parts of the base have shown unease about race and religion. The Washington Post found racist abuse aimed at him online, and doubts among some voters about having a Hindu governor. Other Indian-origin Republicans will be watching the count on Tuesday. A race that is still close A Suffolk University and USA TODAY Network Ohio poll, released on October 28, put Acton on 48 per cent and Ramaswamy on 44 per cent. Libertarian Don Kissick had 4 per cent. In September, the same poll had Acton ahead by 50 to 41, so the gap has narrowed.

《华盛顿邮报》采访了农村地区门罗县和亚当斯县的选民。其中一位选民迈克·威廉姆斯表示，他更倾向于一位基督教徒州长，但计划支持拉马斯瓦米，以此将民主党人挡在门外。鲍灵格林州立大学和YouGov于9月进行的一项民调发现，超过一半的可能投票的选民认为，身为印度教徒会损害候选人在美国选举中的胜算。农村选民、65岁以上的选民以及没有大学学历的选民更有可能持这种观点。

该州的构成提供了一些背景信息。皮尤研究中心发现，俄亥俄州64%的成年人是基督徒，印度教徒约占1%。党内偏见《华盛顿邮报》表示，拉马斯瓦米在社交媒体上面临了种族主义侮辱。该报还发现，在共和党初选中，有近五分之一的选民支持了一位曾对他使用种族主义言论、攻击移民并使用了与纳粹意识形态有关的“血统与土地”一词的候选人。

该报指出，一些保守派网络大V和政治人物对印度裔美国人表现出更广泛的敌意，他们在科技和医疗领域的存在感正日益增强。该报援引了得克萨斯州铁路专员共和党候选人博·弗伦奇的一条社交媒体贴文，该贴文针对的是得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的南亚学生。弗伦奇后来表示，他的言论是关于他所认为的对H-1B签证持有者子女的优待，而无关种族。
Lost the Jun 16 runoff to Ruwa Romman. “Key issues” are what each candidate has said in news reports, not an endorsement or a full platform. Where we found no recent issue statement we say so. Party labels follow the ballot; Los Angeles mayor is a nonpartisan office. Created by Aniruddha Dhar A private poll for an unnamed Republican group, seen by Axios, gave Acton a bigger lead. It surveyed 800 likely voters between October 23 and 26 and had her on 50 per cent against 42 per cent for Ramaswamy. The RealClearPolling average, for surveys from September 29 to October 26, showed 48.6 per cent for Acton and 44.3 per cent for Ramaswamy. Several of these gaps sit within the margin of error.
《华盛顿邮报》指出，批评过那些聚焦种族和身份认同的人的拉马斯瓦米没有公开回应。这对印度裔共和党人意味着什么尼基·黑利和鲍比·金达尔都是印度裔共和党人，在拉马斯瓦米之前都曾担任州长。在俄亥俄州获胜将使另一位这样的人走上这一职位，并将表明在一个印度教徒寥寥无几的州，选民会支持该信仰的候选人。
President Donald Trump is stepping in to help. He said on Truth Social that he will host a telerally for Ramaswamy and other Ohio Republicans. They are Senator Jon Husted and Representative Mike Carey, who are both running for re-election, and congressional candidates Eric Conroy and Derek Merrin. “They LOVE the Great People of Ohio, and so do I,” Trump wrote. It is the second of six telerallies he is holding for Republican candidates across the country. Faith and heritage in the campaign Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnati to parents who moved from India. If he wins, he would be the first Indian-American governor of Ohio, and the first Hindu governor in the country. The Washington Post spoke to voters in rural Monroe and Adams counties.
一场失利将更难解读。这里引用的民调并未显示，他的血统或信仰是产生任何差距的主要原因。萨福克大学发现，72%的可能选民知道他关于阿克顿疏远母亲的广告，但不到1%的人表示这让他们从支持阿克顿转为支持他。半数人表示他发起了更具负面色彩的竞选活动，而认为阿克顿是这样的比例为15%。Axios称，他的竞选团队为这则广告预留了400万美元。
One of them, Mike Williams, said he would prefer a Christian governor but plans to back Ramaswamy to keep the Democrats out. A September poll by Bowling Green State University and YouGov found that more than half of likely voters thought being Hindu would hurt a candidate’s chances in a US election. Rural voters, people over 65 and those without college degrees were more likely to say so. The state’s make-up gives some context. Pew Research Center found that 64 per cent of adults in Ohio are Christian, and Hindus make up about 1 per cent. Prejudice inside the party The Post said Ramaswamy has faced racist insults on social media. It also found that nearly one in five voters in the Republican primary backed a candidate who used racist language about him, attacked immigrants and used the phrase “blood and soil”, which has links to Nazi ideology. The paper pointed to wider hostility from some conservative influencers and political figures towards Indian Americans, who have a growing presence in technology and healthcare. It cited a social media post by Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas railroad commissioner, that targeted South Asian students at the University of Texas at Austin. French later said his comments were about what he saw as preferential treatment for children of H-1B visa holders, not about race. The Post noted that Ramaswamy, who has criticised those who focus on race and identity, did not respond in public. What it means for Indian-origin Republicans Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal, who are Indian-American Republicans, both served as governors before him. A win in Ohio would put another in the office, and would show that voters in a state with few Hindus will back a candidate of that faith. A loss would be harder to read.
这为该党留下了复杂的局面。无论结果如何，这场竞选表明，一些共和党选民在评估印度裔候选人时，依然会提及信仰和血统，哪怕他们正计划投票给他。
The polls cited here do not show that his heritage or faith is the main reason for any gap. Suffolk found that 72 per cent of likely voters knew of his ad about Acton’s estranged mother, yet fewer than 1 per cent said it moved them from Acton to him. Half said he had run the more negative campaign, against 15 per cent who said that of Acton. Axios said his campaign had set aside $4 million for the ad. That leaves a mixed picture for the party. Whatever the result, the race has shown that some Republican voters still raise faith and heritage when they judge an Indian-origin candidate, even when they plan to vote for him.
