The Ohio Republican Party is set to decide whether to endorse entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy for governor nearly a year before the primary election.
This early endorsement push is being championed by Ramaswamy's supporters, including Donald Trump Jr., who are urging the party to clear the path for his nomination. However, current Governor Mike DeWine is opposing the move, seeking to halt the endorsement vote. The decision comes as other potential candidates, like Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, consider entering the race.
The outcome could significantly shape the Republican field for Ohio's 2026 gubernatorial race.

Of course the Ohio GOP wants to fast-track another anti-choice, anti-worker billionaire while shutting out democracy and real debate—pretty on brand for today’s Republican Party.

It’s wild that the Ohio GOP is even considering endorsing someone like Ramaswamy this early, basically shutting out voters from having a real say in the primary. This kind of power grab just shows how much influence Trump and his allies still have over the party. Honestly, Ohio deserves leaders who listen to people, not just party elites making backroom deals.

The establishment GOP needs to step aside—Vivek is a true America First outsider who actually listens to the people, not the swamp!

Nothing says “democracy” like backroom deals and party elites trying to handpick their candidate a year before voters even get a say—classic GOP power grab.
