<p>Biotech entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vivek-ramaswamy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vivek Ramaswamy</a> told The Daily Wire on Monday that he would &#8220;strongly consider&#8221; replacing J.D. Vance as U.S. senator from Ohio now that former President Donald Trump has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-picks-ohios-j-d-vance-as-running-mate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picked</a> Vance to be his running mate for the 2024 election.</p>
<p>At the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, The Daily Wire&#8217;s Cabot Phillips asked Ramaswamy if there is a possibility he would become senator as Ohio GOP Governor Mike DeWine is faced with appointing Vance&#8217;s successor if Trump wins.</p>

<p>&quot;The truth is I would strongly consider it if asked. I&#39;d also want to have an open conversation… <a href="https://t.co/XfNXIGjtea">pic.twitter.com/XfNXIGjtea</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1812974944038625617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The truth is I would strongly consider it if asked. I&#8217;d also want to have an open conversation with President Trump about where I could have the biggest impact on the future of the country,&#8221; Ramaswamy said.</p>
<p>&#8220;For me, my top passion and sense of purpose as well is tackling the administrative state,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And I think that that exists in cancerous ways at the federal level. It exists in all 50 states in this country, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ramaswamy, <a href="https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2024/05/28/ohio-native-vivek-ramaswamy-wants-changes-at-money-losing-buzzfeed/73879685007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a native of Ohio</a>, ran against Trump for the GOP&#8217;s presidential nomination before <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/vivek-ramaswamy-drops-out-endorses-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropping out</a> and endorsing Trump in January. He was said to be under <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-surrounds-himself-with-potential-vps-at-mar-a-lago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">consideration in veepstakes</a> and has also been talked about for a <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/19/us-news/trump-rules-out-vivek-ramaswamy-as-vp-will-consider-him-for-other-admin-positions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potential Cabinet position</a>.</p>
<p>In his interview with The Daily Wire, Ramaswamy further stated that &#8220;shutting down&#8221; the &#8220;shadow government&#8221; would require work both within the executive branch as well as the legislative branch.</p>
<p>This would go toward &#8220;laying out the pathway for reclaiming accountability to the political branches of government, particularly the law-making branch where lawmakers are elected rather than unelected bureaucrats who wield that power today,&#8221; Ramaswamy said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Both those could be ways to take that challenge on and, you know, that&#8217;s for after President Trump wins. That&#8217;s the real goal — is first achieve success. And then after that I&#8217;ll be open-minded to the different possibilities,&#8221; Ramaswamy continued.</p>
<p>Former Ohio Republican Party Chairwoman Jane Timken, who lost to Vance in the 2022 U.S. Senate race, <a href="https://www.notus.org/2024-election/jd-vance-ohio-senate-seat-dewine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told NOTUS</a> at the convention she would &#8220;consider&#8221; replacing Vance if given the opportunity.</p>
<p>The report also noted that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a close ally to Trump, was &#8220;floated&#8221; by a source as a suggestion.</p>
<p>DeWine <a href="https://www.wsaz.com/2024/07/15/gov-dewine-issues-statement-choice-ohio-senator-jd-vance-be-republican-vice-presidential-nominee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a statement that said Trump made a &#8220;great choice&#8221; with Vance as his running mate. The governor <a href="https://x.com/NikkiMcR/status/1812931645407916345" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the media</a> at the GOP convention it is &#8220;much too early&#8221; to begin talking about a potential replacement for Vance in the Senate.</p>
<p>Whoever is picked in this scenario, <a href="https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ohio/what-will-happen-if-ohio-us-sen-jd-vance-becomes-vice-president-rules-for-naming-successor/95-20d2ad65-28b7-4c26-9d41-005b0e50ae5a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> NBC&#8217;s local Cleveland affiliate WKYC, would not necessarily hold the seat for Vance&#8217;s full term that <a href="https://www.senate.gov/senators/Class_III.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ends</a> in January 2029. A special general election for the final stretch would be held in November 2026 during midterms season.</p>
<p>In the 2024 race for Ohio&#8217;s other U.S. Senate seat, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is facing off against businessman Bernie Moreno — who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-moreno-wins-ohio-republican-senate-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emerged victorious</a> in the GOP nomination fight in March. Polls <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/senate/general/2024/ohio/brown-vs-moreno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a> Brown with an advantage for the general election.</p>
