WASHINGTON – Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who just became Ohio governor in next year's election, is Monday evening after the launch of a campaign claiming Ohio can show right leadership and lead the country in economic and education revival I only spoke to Breitbart News.
“The core message is that Ohio will become a state of excellence in America. Donald Trump will once again make America great and revive our beliefs in Ohio and America,” Lamaswamy said. He told Breitbart News.
“We need a leader at home who is going to revive our beliefs in Ohio,” he continued. “In particular, in the coming years, we'll be here and representing the governor and strong conservatives, as many federal programs are abolished and should be, and we'll be back to the states and people, and we'll be here at home and we'll be open to the statewide candid people representing the governor and strong conservatives. We need a strong governor. We do the right thing in values and in practice education and healthcare. Closing the Ministry of Education is a great first step and it is right to pursue, but this country So there is still another educational crisis that needs to be addressed at the state level. So my view is that Ohio is actually going to be the main state in the country, not only creating a new business arrangement. Create family formation We can also be conservative states like Texas and Florida, but this actually makes more people not out and more children and families in this state. If they are governed to be in a state, and those children will actually remain in this state. Ohio has a tradition of greatness and has a nation, as they have led the way of the first industrial revolution. Because we have a tradition to guide. I don't think there's a reason Ohio can't be a nation leading these years when it comes to economic growth, especially when it comes to providing world-class education to children. .”
President Donald Trump supported Lamaswamy within minutes of launching the campaign, saying his former rival in the 2024 GOP presidential primary had “full and full approval.”
Ramaswamy told Breitbart News he wanted to “build” Trump's success with working class and minority voters, and part of his pitch in his campaign in Ohio was his party It is designed to target slowly disillusioned people facing left.
“I think we had to build on that foundation. President Trump is one of the things that made him appeal to independent voters and even Democrats, and he is a politician. That means there's no,” Ramaswamy said.
“He's a businessman, and I think we can build on that foundation after that,” he further outlined. “I don't think a traditional career politician can replicate it. I think I'll take someone who can speak with his level of credibility and his level of candidity. I'd say I don't think that politicians cut from a square suit reciting topics will achieve the outcome. I think President Trump has built the foundation. He is more openly working like President Trump. It is based on that. I have delivered a message to many Democrats as well tonight. I oppose a lot of things whether you're an orphaned Democrat or independent, Careful that you are living a better life than your kids If you're going to really care more than you did, excellence for your kids is on the same team on this journey, despite us not agreeing to many things. Take it out of school. Here's the basic suggestion I unfolded tonight: Merit-based pay for teachers, I unfolded tonight as well. Paying teachers, principals and administrators according to the actual results, the best teachers. It deserves to be paid much more than it is now, but it doesn't get the best teachers because there's no meritocracy in compensation. So here we go with working class voters in Ohio, “You're I think there is a common basis for what you know. The Democrats I left to join President Trump are part of a wider, longer-term shift. We want to move that torch forward to bringing Ohio into a conservative state that governs conservative principles. ”

Ramaswamy also said he is a native of Trump and Ohio and has close ties with Vice President JD Vance, who served as one of the state's US senators before being elected with Trump.
“We want to create a rising tide that lifts the Trump President's agenda around the country. I think we need real partners at the state level who share not only ideology but also capabilities.” Ramaswamy said. “I am grateful for the great foundation they have borne and the amazing relationship we have to be their partners to do that.”
He also told Breitbart News an interesting story about the location where the aerospace company first attended a Trump rally at a facility that launched its campaign on Monday evening.
“The event we went to tonight was actually the first political event I've ever done at the Trump rally. The Butler County Aerospace Company, which is near the first home I grew up and lived in. It is located in and is quite close to where JD grew up,” Ramaswamy said. “Nancy Nicks [a local Butler County official] He came out and talked about how she was asked to take her friend to a meeting. That was me. And the person who asked her to do it was a JD. It was done about six years ago on the site that announced this today. So it was a fun history. ”
