Summary
Ohio’s governor just flipped on capital punishment, but the race to replace him is heating up with candidates across the aisle pushing to reinstate executions — even as the drug shortage that halted them since 2018 remains a massive hurdle. Republican hopefuls like Vivek Ramaswamy and Keith Faber promise “thoughtful” and “constitutional” ways to resume lethal injections, while even a Democratic AG candidate backs the death penalty with caution. Governor DeWine’s successor may face a divided state, where victims’ families and lawmakers clash over justice, drugs, and whether Ohio should ever again pull the trigger — literally — on capital punishment.
