US EditionYost suspends Ohio governor’s bid after state GOP backs Ramaswamy
- Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost ended his bid for governor on Friday following the Ohio Republican Party’s endorsement of Vivek Ramaswamy.
- Yost launched his bid in January with a strong resume but faced a swift shift when Ramaswamy, a political newcomer backed by Trump, gained early GOP endorsement.
- Yost acknowledged the endorsement made his path to the nomination a “vertical cliff” and expressed a desire to avoid dividing the party amid concerns over Democrat Sherrod Brown's potential gubernatorial run.
- Ramaswamy praised Yost’s campaign as thoughtful and foresaw Yost playing a key role in Ohio’s future, while Yost pledged to continue serving as attorney general through 2026.
- Yost’s exit highlights a GOP shift away from established figures, leaving the gubernatorial race largely open with Ramaswamy favored but other candidates, including Heather Hill and Jim Tressel, still considering runs.
