Failed presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is expected to announce on Monday that he is launching a bid to replace Republican Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, who cannot run again due to term limits. According to NBC News, which first reported the news, Ramaswamy will kick off a statewide announcement tour in Cincinnati Monday afternoon.
Ramaswamy, a 39-year-old MAGA loyalist, has never held elected office but enters the race as the presumptive front-runner due to his connections with President Donald Trump—whom he endorsed after dropping out of the Republican presidential primary—and with Vice President JD Vance, whose staff will steer Ramaswamy’s campaign, as reported by NBC News.
