Former President Donald Trump has shown his support for biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for governor in Ohio. Trump praised Ramaswamy on Truth Social, saying he is “Young, Strong, and Smart!” and believes he will be an “GREAT Governor” who will never let Ohioans down. Trump claims to know Ramaswamy well, stating, “I competed against him, and he is something special.”
Ramaswamy aims to make Ohio the “top state in the country” and officially started his campaign on Monday. This endorsement comes as a surprise since Trump previously criticized him during the Republican primaries earlier this year, saying Ramaswamy was “not MAGA” and accused him of using “deceitful campaign tricks.”
Ramaswamy’s decision to run for governor follows his departure from the company DOGE. He said leaving was a mutual decision, but there were rumors that Elon Musk forced him out.
Many users on social media reacted positively to Trump’s endorsement, with some praising Ramaswamy’s qualities and expressing confidence he will win in Ohio. Ramaswamy thanked Trump for his support, saying, “We’re behind you all the way & we will Make Ohio Great Again!”
In addition, Elon Musk, head of DOGE, also endorsed Ramaswamy, wishing him luck on social media. Ramaswamy responded to Musk with “Elon, thank you. Let’s roll!”
Ramaswamy’s main political adviser will be JD Vance, who is a former U.S. Senator from Ohio. At a rally in Cincinnati, Ramaswamy said he plans to make Ohio the best place to start and grow a business, promising to cut unnecessary regulations
