The biotech entrepreneur hopes for support from both President Trump and Elon Musk as he maps out his planned bid for Ohio governor.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy co-hosted an X Space on the department of government efficiency to discuss its current initiatives and past government spending. This came as Ramaswamy is now out of DOGE for his yet-to-be-launched campaign for Ohio governor election.

Vivek Ramaswamy has expressed his intention to seek a second term as governor of Ohio despite not yet being elected or officially announcing his candidacy. “Those eight years will go by quickly,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
