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.

Former Lt. Gov., now U.S. Senator, Jon Husted’s move to D.C. opens a vacancy for Gov. Mike DeWine’s second-in-command — but also for governor. Here are some names to watch.

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.

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.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is expected to appoint his Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to take over Vice President-elect JD Vance's Senate seat, according to two people familiar with the matter. Vance resigned from his Ohio Senate seat last week, ahead of his upcoming inauguration.

Attorney General Dave Yost is now in the race for the Republican nomination for Ohio governor next year, after weeks of teasing a coming campaign.

Former Lt. Gov. Jon Husted was sworn in as Ohio's newest U.S. Senator on Tuesday. Here's a deeper look at what that means for who might replace him as LG, and also how his appointment reshapes the Republican primary for Ohio governor in 2026.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate, is likely to launch a bid for Ohio governor by the end of January, sources confirm to Fox News.
