Ohio Republicans Ramaswamy and Husted endorse each other’s campaigns

FIRST ON FOX: Two of the top Republicans in the solid red state of Ohio are endorsing each other, representing a move toward unity in the state where Republicans are hoping to win next November without President Trump on the ticket. 

“I’m proud to back Jon Husted for U.S. Senate,” Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said in a press release alongside an event with Ohio Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Columbus on Monday night. 

“Jon represents Ohio values, and he is a common-sense leader who I’ve known for years. He’s a fighter for our families and our freedoms, and he’ll carry Ohio’s voice to Washington without compromise.”

Husted reciprocated the sentiment by issuing his own endorsement of Ramaswamy’s campaign for the governorship in Ohio.

“Vivek has articulated bold ideas for our state, and I believe his vision for excellence aligns closely with the priorities Ohioans expect and deserve,” Husted said. “I’m proud to endorse my friend Vivek Ramaswamy to be the next Governor of Ohio.”

The press release touted Husted’s “reputation as Ohio’s common-sense public servant who streamlines government and expands opportunity” along with Ramaswamy’s “perspective of a successful entrepreneur who champions innovation and free markets.”

The two candidates together, the press release stated, represent a pairing that is “uniting Ohio around a strong mission for the state on the national stage.”

Husted, appointed to the U.S. Senate by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to replace Vice President JD Vance, is running for re-election against former Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republicans across the country have circled the wagons in support of the freshman senator.
