Former President Trump’s choice of Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, as his running mate in the upcoming election has sparked speculation about who might fill Vance’s Senate seat if he becomes vice president. One name that has emerged in the conversation is Vivek Ramaswamy, a resident of Ohio who ran for the Republican presidential nomination against Trump in the primary race.
In a statement, Ramaswamy expressed his support for Vance, saying, “I have rock-solid conviction that JD will be an outstanding VP for President Trump.” However, he also acknowledged the potential difficulty in getting Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, to appoint him to the Senate, as DeWine is considered a more moderate Republican compared to Ramaswamy’s “America-First” brand of conservatism.
Despite the challenges, Ramaswamy indicated that he would strongly consider the position if asked to serve and would discuss with President Trump which path makes the most sense for the country. He praised Vance as a candidate who can attract a diverse range of supporters, including those who may not traditionally align with the Republican Party.
As the speculation continues, all eyes will be on Ohio and the potential reshuffling of political positions that could occur if Vance and Trump emerge victorious in the election. Stay tuned for the latest updates from the campaign trail and exclusive interviews at our Fox News Digital election hub.
