Vivek Ramaswamy has won the Ohio Republican nomination for governor, putting him on track to become the first Hindu governor in American history. Michael and Wade walk through what Hinduism actually is and why it matters, whether a first-generation Hindu American can be "truly American," how to weigh Vivek's stated views on Jesus, and whether Christians in Ohio should pull the lever for him over a pro-abortion Democrat. They close with a call for Christians to raise up political talent and a word of hope — Christ is on the throne no matter who wins.
