Vivek Ramaswamy plans to run for Governor of Ohio

The latest update from the Washington Post regarding Vivek Ramaswamy's plans for running for Governor of Ohio indicates that while Ramaswamy has been interested in the Ohio U.S. Senate seat vacated by JD Vance, his primary focus remains on potentially running for Ohio governor in 2026. The Washington Post reported that even though Ramaswamy would consider an appointment to the Senate if offered, he has been setting himself up for a gubernatorial run and vastly prefers seeking that office. This information was corroborated by discussions with sources familiar with his thinking, suggesting that his base plan is to rack up accomplishments with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) before launching a campaign for Ohio Governor shortly thereafter. 17GEN4.com
