Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has appointed Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to fill the Senate seat that was recently vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance.
CLEVELAND — Vivek Ramaswamy’s move this week toward a run for governor of Ohio did not clear or freeze the Republican field the way someone so closely and visibly aligned with President-elect Donald Trump ordinarily might. The biotech entrepreneur — whose work leading Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency alongside billionaire Elon Musk has yet to officially begin — is expected to launch a campaign soon, two sources with direct knowledge of his plans told NBC News.
“The people of this state deserve bold, proven leadership, and I look forward to sharing my vision for Ohio in the weeks ahead.” While Yost and Sprague aren’t backing down, one veteran Ohio Republican strategist who has worked on gubernatorial campaigns there said Ramaswamy’s personal wealth and well-established ties to Trump could make him hard to beat — even against known electoral quantities.
