Vivek Ramaswamy plans to announce Ohio gubernatorial run

Biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy plans to run for Ohio governor, according to two people familiar with his plans who say that the co-leader of President-elect Donald Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency” initiative will announce his bid shortly.

“Vivek’s base plan remains [the] same: to get accomplishments at DOGE and then announce a run for governor shortly,” said an Ohio operative familiar with Ramaswamy’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about the former presidential candidate’s intentions.

A person inside Ramaswamy’s political apparatus who spoke to Ramaswamy this week said that Ramaswamy said he plans to run to replace Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R), who is term limited. “The statement is drafted. It is ready,” the person said Ramaswamy told them. Ramaswamy planned to announce his selection after DeWine announces his pick to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, the person said.

A representative for Ramaswamy did not respond to a request for comment.

I think he provided whoever his opponent is a treasure trove of ads. Vivek thinks Americans are too lazy to do tech jobs.

He won’t win. Yost has a much better shot.

Ramaswarmy is so radioactive, even Trump and Musk couldn’t wait to offload him. That’s saying something.
