Vivek Ramaswamy is reportedly considering a run for Ohio governor, according to The Washington Post.
“Vivek’s base plan remains [the] same: to get accomplishments at DOGE and then announce a run for governor shortly,” a source told the outlet, while another person familiar with the development said, “The statement is drafted. It is ready.”
Ramaswamy met with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (D) to discuss J.D. Vance’s vacant senate seat. The seat was ultimately given to Lt. Governor Jon Husted.
Ramaswamy, alongside Elon Musk, was tapped to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“I am pleased to announced that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (‘DOGE’). Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement,” Trump said in November.
“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending. They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the US Government accountable to “WE THE PEOPLE.” Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 – A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. I am confident they will succeed!” he said.
