I'll be honest, I didn't even know Vivek resided in Ohio.
WaPo is reporting that Trump-ally and Co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, is running for Governor of Ohio.
Cue up the Rush Limbaugh song, we're all watching Ohio once more.
'Vivek's base plan remains [the] same: to get accomplishments at DOGE and then announce a run for governor shortly,' said an Ohio operative familiar with Ramaswamy's thinking who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about the former presidential candidate's intentions.
A person inside Ramaswamy's political apparatus who spoke to Ramaswamy this week said that Ramaswamy said he plans to run to replace Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R), who is term limited. 'The statement is drafted. It is ready,' the person said Ramaswamy told them. Ramaswamy plans to announce his selection after DeWine announces his pick to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, the person said.
DeWine also made his selection to replace JD earlier today, meaning Ramaswamy's announcement might be coming soon.
This is all happening after Vivek made half of MAGA angry with his H-1B Visa take on Christmas Day.
There's a certain section of the MAGA base that's still ticked off with Ramaswamy, but as we saw in the primaries the man is a heck of a campaigner and communicator, so maybe his odds will be good.
A lot of it will probably come down to what the head honcho says!
