Appointing this unbearable chucklehead will accomplish that goal for sure. Can’t you do anything right, Mikey.

Ramaswarmy has no pull in Ohio, even among Republicans here. Even Trump can’t save his sorry ass.

Jon Husted is DeWine’s pick. He’ll serve out Vance’s term, by which point Trump will likely be dead or drooling out of his mouth. So there’s little consequence for when the seat is up for grabs.

who has the stink of First Energy bribe scandal all over him.

Into high level positions.

They will get installed somewhere come hell or high water.

OH, have a BIGLY fight!!


...........Though Ramaswamy initially took himself out of the running for the Senate, he has been a constant factor in DeWine’s deliberations over who should replace Vance, who resigned last week in advance of his swearing-in as vice president.

Ramaswamy, a Cincinnati native who now lives in the Columbus area, is widely believed to be interested in running to succeed DeWine, who is term-limited, as governor next year. But so is DeWine’s preferred successor, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted.

A bruising GOP primary featuring Husted, Ramaswamy and others could dent DeWine’s legacy. Without any clear signal about Ramaswamy’s intentions in 2026, DeWine has considered appointing Husted, a close ally, to the Senate vacancy to better solidify his political future. Whoever DeWine picks would have to win a special election in 2026 to serve the remaining two years of Vance’s term.

You don't need to bend the knee so far that it breaks off. Ramaswany's a malign clown and you know it.

My guess is he's realized that "working" with crazy Musk is not good for his long term prospects and now he needs an out.

Vivek Ramasmarmy can’t grift enough standing in Elon’s shadow so he wants to come and screw Ohio some more.

Just fucking wonderful.

The GOP in Ohio is out to out-Florida Florida.

He was born and raised in Ohio and he still lives there, according to his campaign website. (Also according to Wikipedia.)

In Pennsylvania, we get the super-wealthy carpetbaggers trying to take our Senate seats. First it was Dr. Oz who never lived in PA but he wanted to be our Senator. John Fetterman defeated him in 2022. Then we got Dave McCormick who was born in Pittsburgh, but hasn't been a PA resident since he went away to college. He owns mansions in Connecticut and elsewhere, and he's buddies with all the corporate CEOs, wealthy investors, tech bros, and trust-fund families. McCormick managed to come to Pennsylvania last year and defeat our 3-term Democratic Senator Bob Casey.

I have no idea how the Ohio voters will accept Vivek, but look at whom they elected 2 years ago - JD Vance.

He's arguably worse.

becsuse of religion and now he has made those comments about culture which made them more opposed to him.

My guess on why he wants the appointment is that's the only way he can get there right now and he thinks once he is in the Senate he will be able to show them he is worth keeping.

He will have a good chance of beating him
