Vivek Ramaswamy

The Republican primary for governor is more than a year away, but one candidate is continuing to announce endorsements - though he may already have the only one that matters.

Aaron Baer said it’s his own endorsement of Vivek Ramaswamy and not Dave Yost, and not the endorsement of the Center for Christian Virtue.

Vivek Ramaswamy officially launched his campaign for Ohio governor near his hometown of Cincinnati, and President Trump wasted no time weighing in.

The 39-year-old biotech entrepreneur, a 2024 presidential candidate who left President Donald Trump's government efficiency initiative last month, will kick off his closely watched campaign at Cincinnati's CTL Aerospace Inc.

LaRose, 45, a former state senator and U.S. Army Green Beret, is the last of Ohio's five term-limited statewide executive officeholders to make his future plans known.

Robert Sprague is Ohio’s 49th treasurer. He began serving in the position in Jan. of 2019.

Vivek Ramaswamy is expected to enter Ohio’s governor’s race next week after stepping away from his appointment as Trump’s government efficiency czar. We’ll discuss it all during the Reporter Roundtable.

Vivek Ramaswamy is no longer part of the commission that President Donald Trump championed, officials confirmed hours after the Republican took office Monday, and that leaves billionaire Elon Musk to run the cost-cutting operation alone.

The 39-year-old from Cincinnati had been weighing a campaign for Ohio governor in 2026 and hoped to build his policy portfolio as partner to billionaire Elon Musk leading a non-governmental effort to cut federal government spending, regulations and personnel.

The leaders of the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" are calling for large-scale layoffs of federal workers and the elimination of some federal agencies during Trump's second term.
