佛罗里达州共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯猛烈抨击俄亥俄州共和党州长候选人失利者维韦克·拉马斯瓦米及其共和党团队，他在某档播客中表示，拉马斯瓦米与该州的劳动阶层“格格不入”。
生物技术企业家拉马斯瓦米以7.9个百分点的差距，输给了丑闻缠身的民主党候选人艾米·阿克顿。尽管获得了唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书，且得到副总统JD·万斯的核心顾问团队指导，拉马斯瓦米仍在席卷全国的“蓝色浪潮”中落败，此次中期选举被广泛视为对特朗普总统任期的公投。
但在2024年竞选过总统、且2026年任期结束后将受限的德桑蒂斯，在《塞奇·斯蒂尔秀》节目中表示，拉马斯瓦米对自己的失利负有一定责任。
“我不明白为什么要推动他去那里参选。哦，我母亲来自扬斯敦。俄亥俄州是一个工人阶级州，非常蓝领。你知道维韦克，他就是个‘科技派’。”德桑蒂斯说。
距关键州长选举不到100天，拉马斯瓦米勾勒与民主党对手的核心分歧

拉马斯瓦米此前曾在2024年竞选共和党总统提名，他是生物技术公司Roivant Sciences和反ESG投资公司Strive Asset Management的创始人。他还曾与埃隆·马斯克短暂共同领导特朗普政府的政府效率部。
他受到了特朗普的热情接纳，特朗普在拉马斯瓦米宣布参选当天就背书了他。特朗普此前曾鼓励拉马斯瓦米考虑竞选万斯空出的参议院席位。拉马斯瓦米与万斯在耶鲁法学院读书时就相互认识。
德桑蒂斯批评拉马斯瓦米支持“择优录取”的H-1B签证体系，认为这可能进一步疏远了俄亥俄州的蓝领选民。拉马斯瓦米曾表示，当前抽签制的H-1B体系应该被“彻底废除”。
“他想通过签证引入外国工人。这种人根本不会获得选民的认可。”德桑蒂斯说。
拉马斯瓦米旗下企业曾使用H-1B项目，Roivant Sciences在2018年至2023年间共有29份H-1B申请获得批准。

与此同时，由他共同创立的投资公司Strive Asset Management于2025年将总部从哥伦布迁至达拉斯，而拉马斯瓦米是在几个月后才宣布竞选俄亥俄州州长的。拉马斯瓦米表示，他已不再参与公司运营，但仍是主要股东。

“我知道他是自食其果，”德桑蒂斯说，“我知道他还做了很多其他事情，导致最终以压倒性劣势落败。但即便如此，你也必须了解选民的需求，在一些问题上贴合他们的立场。”德桑蒂斯说，“我认为如果我们有一位更能代表俄亥俄州蓝领群体核心利益的候选人，我们本可以在俄亥俄州做得更好。”
大选前几周，拉马斯瓦米的竞选团队因利用民主党州长当选人艾米·阿克顿疏远的母亲制作攻击广告而引发两党不满，该广告称这位民主党候选人是“骗子”，并质疑她关于童年贫困和无家可归的说法。
该广告隐瞒了阿克顿自12岁起就未见过或与母亲说过话，当时她的继父因涉嫌强奸她而被捕。继父虽不认罪，但在审判前逃离了该地区，法院记录显示，当局多年来一直在追捕他。阿克顿的哥哥表示，他们的母亲一直与他保持婚姻关系，直到他2004年去世。
拉马斯瓦米落败的同时，共和党联邦参议员候选人乔恩·赫斯特以4.9个百分点的差距输给民主党候选人谢罗德·布朗，而仅仅两年前，特朗普还以11.2个百分点的优势赢得了俄亥俄州。
德桑蒂斯称共和党中期选举失利为“灭绝级事件”——并解释为何佛罗里达州能“幸存”

除了批评拉马斯瓦米，德桑蒂斯还抨击了国会，称共和党现在处于“守势”，并指责议员们未能将特朗普的行政命令编纂成法律。
“昨晚的选举不仅损害了特朗普政府过去两年的成果，还从根本上确保了未来四年要么是民主党控制的完整执政期，要么是共和党总统受到限制、束手束脚的局面，”德桑蒂斯说。
德桑蒂斯还对所有2028年的猜测予以否认。

“我只会在能真正做出重大成果的情况下才竞选公职，”德桑蒂斯说，“我不想成为一个仅仅作为摆设、像盆栽一样待在那里的人。”

DeSantis nukes ‘tech guy’ Vivek after Ohio drubbing: ‘Not in tune’ with blue-collar voters

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted failed Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and his GOP handlers, arguing on a podcast that he wasn’t “in tune” with the working-class people of the state.
Biotech entrepreneur Ramaswamy lost his scandal-plagued race to Democratic candidate Amy Acton by 7.9 percentage points. Despite President Donald Trump’s endorsement and guidance from Vice President JD Vance’s top advisers, Ramaswamy lost amid a “blue wave” that produced major Democratic upsets across the country. The midterm elections were widely viewed as a referendum on Trump’s presidency.
But DeSantis, who ran for president in 2024 and is term-limited after 2026, shared on the Sage Steele Show that Ramaswamy bore some responsibility for his loss.
“I don’t know why they would have pushed him to be the candidate there. Oh, my mom’s from Youngstown. Ohio is a working class state, very blue collar. You know Vivek, he’s like a tech guy,” DeSantis said.
RAMASWAMY OUTLINES KEY CONTRASTS WITH DEM OPPONENT LESS THAN 100 DAYS OUT FROM KEY GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION

Ramaswamy, who previously ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, is the founder of biotech company Roivant Sciences and anti-ESG investment firm Strive Asset Management. He also briefly co-led President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk.
He was warmly embraced by Trump, who endorsed him the same day Ramaswamy announced his candidacy. Trump had previously encouraged Ramaswamy to consider seeking Vance’s former Senate seat. Ramaswamy and Vance have known each other since their time at Yale Law School.
DeSantis criticized Ramaswamy’s support for a merit-based H-1B visa system, arguing that it likely further distanced him from Ohio’s blue-collar voters. Ramaswamy had said the current lottery-based system should be “gutted.”
‘He wants to bring in foreign workers on visas. That is not the type of person that’s going to sell.” DeSantis said.
Ramaswamy’s own companies have used the H-1B program, with Roivant Sciences having 29 H-1B applications approved between 2018 and 2023.

Meanwhile, Strive Asset Management, the investment firm he co-founded, moved its headquarters from Columbus to Dallas in 2025, months before Ramaswamy launched his campaign for Ohio governor. Ramaswamy said he was no longer involved in the company’s operations, but remained a major shareholder.
FOX NEWS VOTER POLL: 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS USHER IN A BLUE WAVE AS DEMOCRATS WIN CONTROL OF CONGRESS

“And I know he shot himself in the foot,” DeSantis said. “I know he did a lot of other stuff to make it a real landslide against him. But even with that, it’s like you know you got to meet the voters where they are on some of this stuff,” DeSantis said. “I think we would have done better in Ohio had we had a candidate that was more representative or more in tune with the interests of kind of these blue collar people that make the backbone of Ohio.”
Just weeks before the election, Ramaswamy’s campaign drew bipartisan outrage for using Democratic Gov.-elect Amy Acton’s estranged mother in an attack ad that called the Democratic candidate a “liar” and disputed her account of childhood poverty and homelessness.
The ad omitted that Acton had not seen or spoken to her mother since age 12, when her stepfather was arrested on charges of raping her. He pleaded not guilty but fled the area before trial, and court records show authorities continued seeking his arrest for years. Acton’s brother has said their mother remained married to him until his death in 2004.
Ramaswamy’s loss, alongside Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jon Husted’s loss to Democratic candidate Sherrod Brown by 4.9 percentage points, came just two years after Trump won the state by 11.2 percentage points.
DESANTIS CALLS GOP MIDTERM LOSSES ‘EXTINCTION-LEVEL EVENT’ — AND EXPLAINS WHY FLORIDA SURVIVED

In addition to criticizing Ramaswamy, DeSantis took aim at Congress, saying Republicans are now on the “defensive” and faulting lawmakers for failing to codify Trump’s executive orders into law.
“Last night’s elections did not only kneecap the last two years of the Trump administration, it basically ensures the four years after that are going to either be Democrat years where they have a trifecta or where you have a Republican president that is hemmed in and limited,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis also pushed back against any 2028 speculation.

“The only way that I would run for any office is if you can actually deliver big results,” DeSantis said. “I don’t want to just be a timepiece where I just sit there like a potted plant.”
