In a significant political move, former US President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Indian-American billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy for the 2026 Ohio Governor race. Sharing his support on Truth Social, Trump called Ramaswamy "something SPECIAL" and hailed him as "Young, Strong, and Smart," emphasizing his potential to lead Ohio effectively.
Trump, reflecting on his electoral success in Ohio—winning the state three times in 2016, 2020, and 2024—expressed confidence that Ramaswamy would also deliver for the people of the state. "Vivek is a very good person, who truly loves our country," he said, highlighting the candidate's patriotic credentials.
Ramaswamy’s Policy Agenda
The former biotech executive has presented himself as a pro-business outsider with a focus on deregulation and economic growth. Trump underscored Ramaswamy’s policy priorities, noting his commitment to:
Growing the state economy
Cutting taxes and reducing regulations
Promoting “Made in the USA” products
Advancing energy independence
Strengthening law enforcement and public safety
Securing borders and addressing migrant crime
Supporting military and veterans
Upholding election integrity and Second Amendment rights
These positions align closely with the broader Republican agenda, appealing to conservative voters who have been increasingly influential in Ohio politics.
Election Context
The Ohio Governor’s seat will be open after incumbent Republican Mike DeWine completes his term. The Republican primaries are scheduled for May 2026, followed by the general election in November. Early polls suggest that Democrat candidate Amy Acton currently holds a narrow lead, signaling a potentially tight race.
Ramaswamy, who previously co-led the Department of Government Efficiency alongside tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, is positioning himself as an outsider with fresh ideas, leveraging his business acumen and political endorsements to gain traction.
