Ohio Republicans hand Vivek Ramaswamy an early endorsement in the GOP governor’s race

- Vivek Ramaswamy, a 39-year-old biotech entrepreneur and former 2024 presidential hopeful, secured the Ohio Republican Party’s endorsement with a 60-3 vote, defeating contenders such as the state’s current Attorney General Dave Yost and businesswoman Heather Hill.
- Ramaswamy expressed his appreciation for earning the Ohio Republican Party's endorsement by an overwhelming 60-to-3 vote and committed to prioritizing the expansion of Republican support and securing a strong victory in the 2026 election.
- The endorsement provides Ramaswamy with key institutional support that signals strength for Trump-aligned GOP factions and influences the race to replace term-limited Gov. Mike DeWine.
