Trump for Ramaswamy.
President Donald Trump hit TRUTH Social on Monday to officially endorse former GOP presidential opponent Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio gubernatorial race.
“VIVEK RAMASWAMY is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio. I know him well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL. He’s Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!” Trump posted on TRUTH.
Ramaswamy was on Hannity Monday night to discuss his decision to run.
“I want to lead Ohio to be the top state in the country — especially in one area that I don’t think we’ve talked about enough: educational excellence, especially in our public schools,” Ramaswamy told Hannity. “Educational excellence is a core theme,” Ramaswamy added.
“Donald Trump was elected in a decisive mandate — he’s reviving our confidence in America .. now we need leaders at the state level who rise to that same occasion,” Ramaswamy continued, adding he’s “excited to lead the charge here in Ohio.”

“I will lead Ohio to become the state of excellence in America,” Ramaswamy told the crowd.
“Think that sounds unrealistic? It’s not,” he said. “In fact, it wasn’t long ago that Ohio was that state. Today, young people on the internet make fun of something by saying ‘that’s so Ohio.’ But less than a century ago, people weren’t making fun of Ohio, they were aspiring to be Ohio.”
