President Donald Trump threw his support behind one -off presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to be Ohio's next governor.
The 39-year-old entrepreneur and short-lived doge co-leader officially launched his run for Ohio Governor on Monday.
Trump, 78, immediately threw his name behind the one -off presidential candidate of 2024 only a few hours after he announced the bid.
'Vivek Ramaswamy runs for the Governor of the Great State Ohio. I know him well, competed against him and he is something special, “the president wrote in a social media post.
'Vivek is also a very good person who really loves our country. He will be a great governor of Ohio, will never disappoint you and has my full and total approval! “He went on.
It only comes a few weeks after Ramaswamy has been abandoned from Trump's Department of Government Efficiency to set up for an offer within just a few days after Trump.
His step came aside after he bumped with Maga -Loyalists online about immigration and reportedly irritated Billionaire Doge Co leader Elon Musk behind the scenes.

Ramaswamy responded to the rapid approval of the president in his How Social Media Post on Monday evening.
He wrote that he was'Really worshiped to have the approval and that he was completely behind Trump '.
The president who supports Ramaswamy is expected to free the path for him to pursue the Republican nomination for the governor.
Trump wore the state in 2016, 2020 and 2024, because it shifted years ago from once a battlefield to Ruby Red.
Republican governor Jim Dewine is limited, so he cannot walk in 2026. He tapped his lieutenant governor Jon to fill the vice-president JD Vance's vacant senate seat, so he is aimed at Washington instead of his own bid for governor.
Other Republican candidates in the race are the attorney general Dave Yost by Ohio and Black Entrepreneur Heather Hill.

During his speech, the Biotech entrepreneur promised to pay work requirements for Medicaid and merit for teachers in the field of public school. He also called for the abolition of income tax.
Ramaswamy, the father of two, was born in Ohio from immigrant parents. He then launched a pharmaceutical company and later an asset management company.
He launched a presidential offer in February 2023, but he ended his bid after he was completed fourth in the Caucuses of Iowa and endorsed Trump as fourth.
After Trump won the November elections, he mentioned Ramaswamy and Musk to lead Doge Co-Leads.
