US President Donald Trump has given a significant boost to his ally and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for Ohio governor in 2026. Trump praised Ramaswamy as 'something special, young, smart, and strong,' and emphasized his commitment to economic growth and American values. Just days after Ramaswamy criticized Republican policies following the Democrats' landslide victory in mayoral elections in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey, Trump expressed his support for the Ohio gubernatorial candidate. Ramaswamy had called for a focus on economic reforms and a shift away from identity-based politics in a video message posted on X. Trump highlighted Ramaswamy's determination to boost the economy, cut taxes, and promote 'Made in the U.S.A.' manufacturing, and emphasized his commitment to keeping the border secure. Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and the youngest presidential candidate in 2024, is a prominent Indian-American figure and a vocal critic of the H-1B visa programme. In a statement, Trump expressed his confidence in Ramaswamy's ability to grow the economy, cut taxes and regulations, promote American energy dominance, and ensure law and order in Ohio. Ramaswamy has issued a warning to the Republican party, urging them to refocus on economic issues and abandon identity politics. The Ohio gubernatorial election is set to take place next year, and Ramaswamy's endorsement by Trump is seen as a significant boost to his campaign. Ramaswamy's message of economic growth and American values is resonating with voters, and his commitment to cutting costs and promoting 'Made in the U.S.A.' manufacturing is gaining traction in the state.
