Vivek Ramaswamy, a 39-year-old biotech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate, is set to announce his candidacy for Ohio governor. He plans to launch his campaign in Cincinnati, aiming to succeed term-limited Governor Mike DeWine. Ramaswamy's entry into the race follows his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a task force led by Elon Musk to streamline government operations. His exit from DOGE was reportedly due to disagreements over H-1B visa policies. Ramaswamy's gubernatorial bid is expected to challenge established Republican figures like Attorney General Dave Yost and former state health director Dr. Amy Acton.
