Dude has a punchable face
Snip-"The 39-year-old biotech entrepreneur, a 2024 presidential candidate who left President Donald Trump’s government efficiency initiative last month, will kick off his closely watched campaign at Cincinnati’s CTL Aerospace Inc. He’ll then head to New Albany, outside Columbus, to deliver remarks at Axium Packaging later that evening, according to a person close to the campaign who sought anonymity to discuss the unannounced details."
Snip-"Ramaswamy will enter a GOP primary to succeed term-limited Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine that’s already been joined by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Heather Hill, a former member of the state Martin Luther King Commission. Former Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, long viewed as a frontrunner in that contest, dropped out of the running last month after being appointed to the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Vice President JD Vance, a friend of Ramaswamy’s since the two attended Yale Law School.
Former Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton is running on the Democratic side."

(2,675 posts)1. Welp. I can't stand that smarmy little Vivek. Ohio is plenty stupid
These days but I hope not stupid enough to elect him. I’m sure there will be plenty of billionaire $$ trying to buy him the office. I’m thinking that Jim Tressel might run and he’s a pretty popular guy in Ohio due to his coaching days at OSU. I have no idea what kind of Lt Gov he’s going to turn out to be but if he doesn’t completely fork things up, I think he could give Vivek a run for his money. He can’t be any worse of a Governor than Vivek will be. Unfortunately I believe Dr Acton will have a rough row to hoe here in Ohio. The maga mouth breathers hate her from Covid days, plus she’s a woman. This is idiotic, stupid Ohio.
