In a major boost to Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign for Ohio governor, President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk have thrown their full support behind the entrepreneur. Ramaswamy, who previously ran against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, announced his bid for Ohio’s top office on Monday, aiming to replace term-limited Republican Governor Mike DeWine in the 2026 election.
Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to share his enthusiastic endorsement. “VIVEK RAMASWAMY is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio. I know him well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL,” Trump wrote. “He’s Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!”
Not long after, Elon Musk, a prominent Trump ally, also voiced his support for Ramaswamy. On X (formerly Twitter), Musk responded to Ramaswamy’s announcement with a simple yet powerful message: “Good luck, you have my full endorsement!”

The dual endorsements from two of the most influential figures in politics and technology have instantly elevated Ramaswamy’s profile in the race. The 39-year-old entrepreneur, who dropped out of the 2024 Republican presidential primary to endorse Trump, has positioned himself as a fresh, dynamic leader with a vision to restore Ohio’s former glory.
During a rally in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ramaswamy outlined his ambitious goals for the state. “I will lead Ohio to become the state of excellence in America,” he declared. “Think that sounds unrealistic? It’s not. In fact, it wasn’t long ago that Ohio was that state. Today, young people on the internet make fun of something by saying, ‘That’s so Ohio.’ But less than a century ago, people weren’t making fun of Ohio—they were aspiring to be Ohio.”
Ramaswamy’s campaign is already drawing attention for its focus on innovation, efficiency, and a return to traditional American values. His background as a successful entrepreneur and his close ties to Trump and Musk could make him a formidable candidate in the 2026 gubernatorial race.
As the race heats up, all eyes will be on Ohio to see if Ramaswamy can turn his high-profile endorsements into a winning strategy. With Trump and Musk in his corner, the entrepreneur-turned-politician is betting big on his ability to lead the Buckeye State into a new era of prosperity and pride.
