GOP Ohio governor campaign is shaping up to become a three-way race between ex-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Treasurer Robert Sprague, and Attorney General Dave Yost.

With the appointment of Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to JD Vance’s Senate seat, Ohio has two Republican U.S. Senators for the first time in 18 years. The last time that happened, the senators were George Voinovich and Mike DeWine — Ohio's current governor who, last week, appointed the 57-year-old Husted to the Vance vacancy.

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted was sworn in as Ohio's newest U.S. senator Tuesday, just one day after his predecessor became vice president of the United States. Vice President JD Vance administered the oath to Husted during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol attended by Husted's family, Gov. Mike DeWine and Sen. Bernie Moreno.

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted will replace Vice-President elect JD Vance in the Senate. Before the Senate appointment, Husted had planned to run for governor in 2026. However, reports suggest that former Republican presidential candidate and Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy may now be eyeing the position.

It looks like Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine will appoint his lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, to the seat previously held by JD Vance.

Vivek Ramaswamy will launch his campaign for Ohio ... Mike DeWine is term limited and just appointed his preferred successor, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, to the Senate seat previously held by Vice ...

J.D. Vance had four years left on his Senate term before he resigned from his seat. Jon Husted is expected to take his place.

Donald Trump reportedly wants Vivek Ramaswamy to replace JD Vance as Ohio senator. Should Gov. Mike DeWine do Trump's bidding or go with Jon Husted?
