President Trump backs Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio Governor, hailing him as a bold conservative who “will never let America down.”
In a powerful show of political force, U.S. President Donald Trump has thrown his full support behind Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential contender, in Ohio’s upcoming gubernatorial race. Trump’s endorsement, made through a personal Truth Social post, electrified the Republican base and solidified Ramaswamy’s status as the frontrunner for the 2026 election.
“I know Vivek well — competed against him — and he is something SPECIAL,” Trump wrote. “He is Young, Strong, and Smart. Vivek Ramaswamy will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio and has my Complete and Total Endorsement – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
Trump praised Ramaswamy’s intelligence, unwavering patriotism, and his shared commitment to America First principles — from border security and Second Amendment protection to revitalizing U.S. manufacturing under the banner of “Made in the USA.”
The endorsement came just hours after Ohio voters headed to the polls in the state’s first open race in a decade, with term limits preventing any incumbent from running. Ramaswamy, 39, who rose to prominence as a fierce critic of “woke capitalism” during his 2024 presidential bid, is now seeking to bring Trump-era policies to Ohio’s heartland.
Known for his entrepreneurial grit and conservative intellect, the Cincinnati-born son of Indian immigrants has been lauded for merging business innovation with constitutional values. He currently co-leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, where he has been pushing for deep federal reforms and deregulation.
Ramaswamy’s campaign platform echoes Trump’s America First vision — lower taxes, tougher borders, and stronger national identity — but adds his own brand of tech-driven governance and grassroots revival.
With Trump’s endorsement now official, insiders say Ramaswamy’s campaign is poised to dominate the Ohio race, potentially turning the state into a model for next-generation conservative leadership — pragmatic, unapologetic, and fiercely patriotic.
