In a pivotal political endorsement, former US President Donald Trump has officially declared his support for Indian-American billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy as he vies for the 2026 Ohio Governor seat. On Truth Social, Trump praised Ramaswamy as "something SPECIAL," describing him as "Young, Strong, and Smart," and underscoring his capability to guide Ohio effectively.
Trump reflected on his remarkable electoral victories in Ohio, having won the state three times in 2016, 2020, and 2024, expressing trust that Ramaswamy would also serve the people well. "Vivek is a very good person, who truly loves our country," he remarked, emphasizing the candidate's patriotic credentials.
Ramaswamy’s Policy Initiatives
The former biotech executive positions himself as a pro-business outsider focused on deregulation and economic development. Trump highlighted Ramaswamy’s key policy goals, including:
Expanding the state economy
Reducing taxes and slashing regulations
Encouraging “Made in the USA” initiatives
Promoting energy independence
Enhancing law enforcement and public safety
Securing borders and addressing migration-related issues
Supporting military personnel and veterans
Maintaining election integrity and safeguarding Second Amendment rights
These stances resonate with the broader Republican agenda and aim to attract conservative voters who are increasingly influential in Ohio politics.
Context of the Election
The Ohio Governor's position will become vacant as incumbent Republican Mike DeWine wraps up his term. Republican primaries are slated for May 2026, with the general election following in November. Early polling indicates that Democrat candidate Amy Acton holds a slender advantage, hinting at a competitive race ahead.
Ramaswamy, who previously served alongside tech entrepreneur Elon Musk in the Department of Government Efficiency, is carving a niche as an outsider with innovative concepts, leveraging his business savvy and political endorsements to build momentum.
