Now that Trump has announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate the question looms as to who will take over the seat once Trump is re-elected to the White House.
Former presidential candidate and pharmaceutical entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy recently signaled an interest in filling the Senate seat.
“I would strongly consider it if I were asked to serve,” he said of the Senate seat that would be vacated if Donald Trump were elected president and Vance elected vice president.
“I have not discussed this with Gov. DeWine but, you know, I look forward to evaluating what the future holds in store. I would strongly consider it if asked,” Ramaswamy told NBC.
Ramaswamy noted that he’s been in recent contact with Trump and has discussed different ways he may serve in the future Administration.
“We’ve talked about a lot of different possibilities, President Trump and I. I mean, we talk regularly. I spoke to him, actually most recently, it was after midnight on the night that he suffered that injury, tragedy, assassination attempt on Saturday night,” he said.
“So, we‘ve talked about different ideas, potentially, in a cabinet or other ways of driving change,” he added.
On Monday, Trump announced his choice for vice president on Truth Social.
Vivek would be ideal for Cabinet post, where??
Give him the Senate seat we need to keep republicans in Senate seats. Lawmaking, decision makers
I would not trust him in a Cabinet position. If he can win the Ohio Senate race, I would have no problem supporting in that position.
