Trump Encourages Vivek Ramaswamy to Fill Ohio Senate Seat Vacated by JD Vance, Amid DOGE Role
Jan 15, 2025, 09:57 PM
President-elect Donald Trump is encouraging Vivek Ramaswamy to consider filling the Ohio Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance, according to multiple sources. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur previously tapped by Trump to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, had initially withdrawn from consideration for the Ohio Senate seat. However, recent discussions with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, who will appoint Vance's successor, have rekindled the possibility. Ramaswamy's potential appointment is seen as a strategic move by Trump, though Ramaswamy's preference remains to focus on his role with DOGE and possibly run for Ohio governor in 2026. DeWine is expected to make an announcement soon, with other contenders including Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted and former Ohio GOP Party chair Jane Timken.
