Trump, Musk endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio governor
President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have thrown their support behind entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio’s upcoming gubernatorial race. Ramaswamy, who previously ran against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, officially announced his candidacy to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Mike DeWine in the 2026 election.
Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to endorse Ramaswamy, calling him “something SPECIAL.” He praised Ramaswamy as a young, strong, and smart individual who loves the country and would make a great Governor of Ohio. Musk, a senior advisor to Trump, also endorsed Ramaswamy shortly after Trump’s announcement, wishing him luck and offering his full support.
Ramaswamy kicked off his campaign with a rally in Cincinnati, where he expressed his vision of leading Ohio to become a state of excellence. He emphasized the state’s potential for greatness and urged the crowd to believe in Ohio’s ability to rise to new heights.
During his speech, Ramaswamy highlighted the importance of revitalizing Ohio’s reputation and restoring its status as a place of aspiration. He pointed out that Ohio was once a symbol of success and opportunity, and he aims to reignite that spirit within the state.
At 39 years old, Ramaswamy brings a fresh perspective and energy to the political arena. He made a strategic decision to withdraw from the 2024 Republican presidential race to support Trump and serve as a surrogate for the then-president. This move showcased his willingness to prioritize the interests of the party and collaborate with influential figures to drive positive change.
As Ramaswamy gears up for the gubernatorial race, he will draw on the support of Trump, Musk, and other key figures in his campaign team. With a clear vision for Ohio’s future and a commitment to excellence, Ramaswamy aims to lead the state towards a new era of prosperity and progress.
