Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has reacted to the speculation surrounding his potential run for Ohio governor. The Indian-American entrepreneur replied to a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) about him running for the Ohio governor. While he isn’t running for governor (at least for now), Ramaswamy humorously responded that it wasn’t a “bad idea.”
The ‘Vivek Ramaswamy parody’ account sparked quite a buzz with a post that read, “I am officially announcing my candidacy for governor of Ohio. I am ready to lead with vision, integrity, and a commitment to addressing the needs of every Ohioan. Together, we can build a brighter future for our state.”
“This is not the real account of Vivek Ramaswamy,” read the side note.
Ramaswamy reshared the post, making it clear that the account wasn’t his. “Note – the below is a parody account. Not a bad idea, though,” he said.
Ramaswamy’s post quickly gained traction, racking up over a million views so far. Though Ramaswamy didn’t officially confirm running for Ohio Governor, social media users in the comments section seemed to have a different opinion. Many encouraged him to take the plunge and showed their full support.
One user commented, “But…we want you to run.”
Another followed with, “You should run, though.”
“The parody announcement got people excited. Just sayin’,” a commenter pointed out.
Ramaswamy also got direct support from people living in Ohio, with one sharing, “I live in Ohio. I would vote for you.”
Someone else expressed, “Vivek for Ohio! Ohio can be a model for the rest of the country!” while another added, “I think you will have tremendous success and will be able to defeat any candidate you face. Go for it!”
“Sometimes parody sparks the best ideas. Maybe it’s time to consider it?” a person commented.
More supportive comments followed with remarks like, “Do it Vivek. DO IT!” “Love the idea” and “Would be awesome.”
This response follows reports from Fox News and The Washington Post suggesting that Ramaswamy is indeed preparing for a 2026 gubernatorial run. As Ohio’s current Republican Governor, Mike DeWine, is term-limited and cannot seek re-election, Ramaswamy could be positioning himself as a potential successor.
Ramaswamy, who was appointed to lead Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, will be focused on restructuring the federal government and cutting regulations.
