Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential nominee, has announced his bid to run for governor of Ohio in the upcoming election, aiming to replace current Governor Mike DeWine. Ramaswamy, who has a significant lead in recent polls, has received endorsements from Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Ohio Treasurer of State Robert Sprague.
Having recently left the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a task force created by executive order, Ramaswamy is now looking to make his mark in Ohio politics. His considerable wealth, estimated at over $1.1 billion, and his strong favorability ratings in polls make him a strong candidate in the upcoming race for governor.
While the Republican primary is competitive, with candidates such as Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost in the race, Ramaswamy has emerged as a frontrunner in the polls. Polling data from firms such as Fabrizio, Lee & Associates and WPA Intelligence show him with a commanding lead over his rivals, with high favorability ratings and strong support among likely Republican primary voters.
Ramaswamy’s bid for governor is set to officially launch on February 24 in Cincinnati, with further announcements planned in Columbus, Toledo, and Cleveland. As he gears up for the campaign, Ramaswamy is positioning himself as a candidate with a bold vision for Ohio and a commitment to moving the state forward. With significant support from key figures in Ohio politics, Ramaswamy’s campaign is expected to be a notable one to watch in the race for Ohio governor.
