Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is set to launch his expected 2026 run for Ohio governor next Monday, The Hill has learned.

After weeks of hints at the move, Ramaswamy is on track to kick off his campaign in Cincinnati on Feb. 24, a spokesperson told The Hill. He filed campaign paperwork over the weekend.

The biotech entrepreneur would join Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) in the GOP primary race to succeed term-limited Gov. Mike DeWine (R) in the Buckeye State. Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague was expected to run, but he changed course and endorsed Ramaswamy earlier this month.

Does it even matter? They all have auto-vote enabled.

Trump had a 90 minute phone call with Putin described as friendly. He’s ready to remove sanctions on Russia.

Meeting with Saudis today to discuss turning Gaza into Trump towers.

The US is crumbling.

Treating Putin and Russia like a friend while treating their closest allies like enemies. F*** this a**hole forever. What the U.S. has become under this administration is beyond shameful.

Interesting how Trump is buddies with the actual commie or commie friendly countries, like Russia and NoKo, while calling everyone else commies and socialists. MAGA has been totally played.

This is why Putin was elated with the Trump victory.

Putin is seasoned enough to know how to play validation-seeking morons like Trump like a fiddle.

Buttered him up with his compliments around "real man" behaviour and "bravery" following the election.

They're not two buddies, it's puppet and his puppet master getting things back on his terms.

Sad.

Myind tells me he's trying to raid the coffers while he can to fund his move to Mars.

I don't know if this is true or not but allegedly ppl have known this since the early 2000s but pension/retirement papers are still paper and not digitized yet and they stored in a limestone mine?

Musk is a dolt or dotard for sure but if that bit of bureaucracy is real, that's a thing that needs to be cleaned up regardless of political leanings.

Maybe it got buried but I'm pretty sure Trump was exposed as a Russian asset in his 1st term. Maybe they were just trying really hard to prove it and didn't get anywhere. At any rate, it was never going to be a surprise Trump's Administration would be costing up to Russia. Megalomaniac love other megalomaniac, no better reference than Musk.

MAGA didn't care. They were running around wearing t-shirts saying they would rather be Russian than democrat.

Didn't some quiver family from Alberta sell everything off and move to Russia where they FAFO'd themselves? I feel bad for those kids.

He craves and loves the idea of absolute power, he could care less about ideology.

Mars is just a Musk grift to get NASA money. He's no where close to getting to Mars. The first step any common sense approach would be to establish a moon base to test your stuff, iterate, get it right. Then you apply those lessons(and there will be many) to the big mission. This is how you know Musk is not serious. This isn't a serious thing. Any talk of Mars is just continuing the long play grift.


As to the mines thing, ya, apparently they tried for years to convert the process to digital and are making progress, slowly.

That's no reason to blow the whole thing up. And the "mine" is managed by a little company called Iron Mountain.

While that can be said, it’s still the same players and culture behind the scenes who ran the Soviet Union, including the leader who was a KGB officer. And their top allies are China and NoKo.

I think when we’re looking at political extremes we end up at a similar place with similar features.

Now he has 2 hands up Elon and Putin.

Listening to a recap about his 4 weeks he has moved at rapid speed to do what he said he would. The US cannot be trusted or counted on for anything.
