Wil Vivek Ramaswamy be the Republican nominee for Governor in Ohio?
Alpha Opportunity
Alpha Thesis
We believe the Kalshi contract for Vivek Ramaswamy being the Republican nominee for Ohio Governor is approximately fairly priced at 94%, with our estimate at 85%. Vivek is the clear frontrunner with national name recognition and Trump's implicit support. The May 5, 2026 primary is 7 weeks away. Polls show him competitive in the general (trailing Acton 43-53 in one poll, leading 45-43 in another). The 10% gap accounts for a late primary challenger or scandal.
