Unexpected Ally: J. D. Vance's Support For Ramaswamy candidacy
Sun Feb 02 2025
Two weeks ago, Jai Chabria and Andy Surabian, two veteran GOP operatives, began to support Vivek Ramaswamy.
Ramaswamy, former official at president's administration and a billionaire, is running for Ohio's governor.
Well-known figures in the trump administration and Ramaswamy have a connection: they both attended Yale Law. They'll definitely get together to support Ramaswamy's campaign
This is serious support for Ramaswamy, because he's receiving assistance from a top former adviser to the president.
Ramaswamy wants the governor's seat that's open as Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, who has served two terms and is unable to run again.
Ramaswamy's alliance with Vance's political team shows how much political power is involved in this election.
Several positions at the top of Ramaswamy's campaign are being filled with people who have worked with Vance and Trump before. It’s like he’s being handed the best political playbook available.
Some potential GOP candidates for the gubernatorial race are staying silent, waiting for the dust to settle before making key decisions.
Unlike other candidates, Ramaswamy has brought in political giants to help him figure out these next steps. Vying to beat Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, the governor's seat is anyone's game.
Ramaswamy declares, "I've been waiting for my chance to make this state a beacon of conservative ideals, " says Ramaswamy.
Already, Ramswamy's team has Tony Fabrizio, one of Ohio's leading political pollsters, and Arthur Schwartz, one of the most skilled political activists in the state.
Competitors are watching the situation with great interest.
While other candidates would need to build their teams from the ground up, Ramaswamy starts with a team of experienced professionals ready to help him focus on winning.
Despite all this, will this massive political alliance be enough to see Ramaswamy all the way to the governor's office?
Other Ohio voters may feel that this could present an unfair advantage.
One thing's for sure: If Ramaswamy wins, J. D. Vance becomes an influential figure in Ohio's political future.
He's one of a tiny number of people with the kind of political clout this early. He's formed a team that will likely run most Ohio elections in the coming decade.
Ramaswamy's campaign has a bright future ahead of it, with so much support behind him.
Meanwhile, Republican Ivan Tripp, who has held a previous appointment to the Ohio Senate, has received the support of the pro-Trump faction.
This doesn't stop with Ramaswamy's campaign.
