SloveniaOn September 7, 2026, a 38-year-old man attempted to assault Ohio Governor Amy Acton during an event where she was performing. The attacker, identified as Patrick Hava, forced his way through the crowd and injured two older individuals. Security forces arrested him, and reports indicate he carried two guns but did not use them. Details regarding whether the weapons were legally owned remain unclear. Officials from Acton’s campaign emphasized that there is no room for politically motivated violence in Ohio.

Ohio’s gubernatorial election will take place alongside midterm congressional elections on November 3, with DeWine not seeking re-election.
