snip-"Vivek Ramaswamy will launch his campaign for Ohio governor next week after stepping away from the Trump administration’s efforts to cut government spending, according to a source familiar with his plans.

President Donald Trump had tapped the Ohio entrepreneur and former presidential candidate to lead the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk. The organization, which is not an official government agency, will advise the White House on potential strategies to reduce federal spending.

snip-"The source, who was granted anonymity to discuss Ramaswamy’s unannounced plans, said he has a “warm and cordial” relationship with Trump and Musk, and the two support his run for governor. "



snip-"Ramaswamy won’t be the only Republican running for governor in Ohio next year, although support from Trump could give him a leg up in the primary. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Treasurer Robert Sprague are also seeking the job. "

Would Ohio elect him if Trump told them to?

I'd also write off Ohio giving its electoral votes to a Democrat if he's the Governor.
