According to Politico, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is considering appointing Vivek Ramaswamy to the state’s U.S. Senate seat about to be vacated by J.D. Vance.
At first glance, it seems odd given that Ramaswamy is so darned unpopular in MAGA world right now. Also, Ramaswamy has already gotten to work with President-Unelect Musk on their non-existent Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In reality, it’s a plan to slash government services for regular folks in order to give Musk and Puppet Trump’s billionaire bros a tax cut.
Politico says Ramaswamy’s interest in the job “has sparked speculation in GOP circles that he is looking for a lifeline” after defending H-1B visas by saying, essentially, that American culture doesn’t provide good enough workers.
But I suspect President Musk and his boy Trump see it as a way of making the Senate more friendly to destroying the government.

Billionaire Musk, co-director of DOGE, Ramaswamy and Trump are all said to be in agreement that the group needs an advocate in the Senate.
