OHIO Republican Party officially supported the businessman and former presidential candidate VIVEK Ramaswama for the Governor of Ohio on Friday.
Members of the Central State Committee voted 51-13 to support the candidate in the race before voting 60-3 with one stop from Ramaswama. Ramaswmay did not earn three voices as Prosecutor General Dave Yost.
“I am honored that I can receive official support from the Ohio Republican Party as the next Governor of Ohio and grateful for today’s vote on supermajorism from the Republican Central State Committee,” said Ramaswama in a statement on Friday.
Grateful for the support of the OHIO Republican Party through the historical margin 60-3. We are a laser focused on the development of our republican voter base and reference to the decisive victory in ’26. It’s not about left versus right. This is compared to the bottom. We will work tough to get every last voice. https://t.co/syvg7tqfxj

“I apply to lead and improve the lives of all Ohioans, regardless of their race, sex, religion or partisan affiliation. The following year, my wife Apoorva and I will listen not only to the Ohioans who already support us, but also those whose support we will have to earn tough.
We support Ramasy by the Ohio Republican Party after a businessman from Ohio was approved immediately after the campaign began in February by President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk and vice president JD Vance.
The support of the Republican Party in Ohio by Ramaswama also appeared in the news that the governor Mike Dewine was actively in favor of supporting the party by the party of Ramaswamy in the governorate race, saying that support in the race would be premature.
“As for who I support in the basic republican for the governor, it is much too early, because we do not know who will be in the race,” Dewine he said At the beginning of this week.
Some speculated that Dewine was waiting for his lieutenant governor Jim Tressel to make an offer to the governor before supporting the race.
Tressel on Thursday evening he said NBC News That although he did not decide whether to start the governorate campaign, he said that he believed that “God had more work for him.”
“Although I have not ruled out the escape for the governor – and in the future there will be time for these conversations – for now I will focus on helping Ohioans go from the side and on our working force so that they can achieve full potential,” said Tressel.
