Acton Hits 76% on Kalshi in Ohio Governor Race as Ramaswamy Ad Sparks Republican Backlash

Ohio Republican candidates face another problem beyond competitive polls: prediction market traders increasingly bet against them. Democrat Amy Acton is now trading at 76% to win the governor’s race on Kalshi, compared with 24% for Vivek Ramaswamy . Trading volume has reached $3.6 million. That is an eight-percentage-point increase from the 68% probability recorded in DeFi Rate reporting last week , when the market had $2.6 million in volume. Another $1 million has traded as Acton’s advantage has widened. Available market snapshots show Acton’s position has strengthened since last week.
