Trump ally Ramaswamy to announce 2026 GOP campaign for Ohio governor in one week

Vivek Ramaswamy will launch his 2026 campaign for Ohio governor in one week, sources confirm to Fox News.

The multi-millionaire biotech entrepreneur, who went from long shot to contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination before dropping out 13 months ago and becoming a top supporter and surrogate of now-President Donald Trump, will announce his candidacy on Feb. 24 in his hometown of Cincinnati.

Ramaswamy will kick off his campaign – in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Mike DeWine – at CTL Aerospace just outside of Cincinnati. AP was first to report the news.

Sources with knowledge say CTL Aerospace, a privately held company that specializes in aviation repair and original equipment manufacturing, symbolizes Ramaswamy’s push for a new age of growth of industry in Ohio.

The candidate is expected to make stops over the following two days in the Columbus, Toledo and Cleveland areas.

Ramaswamy, who’s now 39 years old, launched his presidential campaign in February 2023 and quickly saw his stock rise.

He campaigned on what he called an “America First 2.0” agenda and was one of Trump’s biggest supporters in the field of rivals, calling Trump the “most successful president in our century.”

Ramaswamy dropped his White House bid in January of last year after a distant fourth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses and quickly endorsed Trump, becoming a staple for the former and future president on the campaign trail during the general election.

Trump, in the days after his November presidential election victory, named Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, along with Ramaswamy, to steer the Department of Government Efficiency initiative, which is better known by its acronym DOGE.

But late last month, as Trump was inaugurated, the new administration announced that Ramaswamy was no longer serving at DOGE. Ramaswamy’s exit appeared to clear the way for Musk, Trump’s top donor and key ally, to steer DOGE without having to share the limelight.

“It was my honor to help support the creation of DOGE. I’m confident that Elon & team will succeed in streamlining government. I’ll have more to say very soon about my future plans in Ohio. Most importantly, we’re all-in to help President Trump make America great again!,” Ramaswamy wrote at the time.

Ramaswamy and Musk sparked a firestorm among Trump’s hard core MAGA supporters over their support for H-1B temporary worker visas for highly skilled workers from foreign countries. Ramaswamy’s comments criticizing an American culture that he said “venerated mediocrity over excellence” received plenty of pushback from some leading voices on the right as well as some in Trump’s political circle.

DeWine announced last month that Lt. Gov. Jon Husted would fill the U.S. Senate seat that was held by JD Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, until he stepped down ahead of the inauguration.

Before the Senate announcement, Husted had planned to run for governor in 2026 to succeed DeWine. Ramaswamy, for his part, had expressed interest in serving in the Senate.

DeWine’s decision to choose Husted to fill the vacant Senate seat appeared to accelerate Ramaswamy’s move toward launching a run for governor.

Top members of Vance’s political team – including advisors Andy Surabian and Jai Chabria, who played major roles in Vance’s 2022 Senate race and in his vice presidential campaign last summer and autumn – are helping Ramaswamy as he runs for governor.

Tony Fabrizio, the veteran Republican pollster who worked on Trump’s 2016 and 2024 campaigns, as well as Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign, is also on board, as is Arthur Schwartz, a close ally to Vance and Donald Trump Jr.

The race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination could be competitive. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, 68, announced last month his candidacy for governor.

“This is my heart, my home,” Yost said in a press release announcing his candidacy. “I work for the people of Ohio, and I love my bosses. From the time I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night, I’m thinking about them and our future.”

Yost also brought in staff from Trump’s political world, announcing that former Trump campaign official Justin Clark had joined the campaign as a general consultant.

Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, a well-known former Ohio State University head football coach who was sworn in last month to succeed Husted, appears to be mulling a gubernatorial run.

Former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton is currently the only Democrat in the race.

Ohio, which was once a top general election battleground, has shifted red over the past decade as Republicans have dominated statewide elections.

Ramaswamy was raised in Evendale, Ohio, in suburban Cincinnati by parents who emigrated from India. His father worked as an engineer at General Electric Aviation and his mother was a geriatric psychiatrist. Ramaswamy and his family currently live in suburban Columbus.

The soon-to-be candidate filed paperwork on Friday with the Ohio secretary of state’s office ahead of his campaign launch.

Trump to announce 25% steel, aluminum tariffs Monday

MGA Entertainment CEO Isaac Larian says Donald Trump is a ‘great’ president while expressing some concerns over tariffs on ‘The Claman Countdown.’

President Donald Trump plans to announce 25% tariffs on all aluminum and steel imports into the U.S. early this week.

Trump, who told reporters on Air Force One about his plans on Sunday afternoon, is expected to announce the new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports on Monday. Trump also plans to announce “reciprocal tariffs” – or tariffs directed at countries that impose duties on U.S. exports – on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The newest tariffs echo the 25% steel tariffs and 10% aluminum tariffs that his first administration imposed in 2018. At the time, the U.S. was the biggest importer of steel, while China was the largest exporter of steel.

Likewise, the U.S. is still one of the largest importers of aluminum, along with Germany and China.

On Feb. 1, Trump introduced the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which includes 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on imports from China. The tariffs have received mixed reactions from consumers and negative pushback from foreign leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

MEXICO AGREES TO DEPLOY 10,000 TROOPS TO US BORDER IN EXCHANGE FOR TARIFF PAUSE

“We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as President to ensure the safety of all,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Feb. 1. “I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.”

In a White House fact sheet, officials said that the purpose of the IEEPA was to help stop “illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.” Last week, the CEO of the largest steel producer in the U.S. endorsed the IEEPA tariffs.

In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Nucor Corp chair, president and CEO Leon J. Topalian wrote that he “applauds the first steps taken by President Trump in his America First Trade Agenda.”

Canada, Mexico announce retaliatory tariffs on US imports in response to Trump’s tariffs on American neighbors

Economist Steve Moore and former member of White House Council of Economic advisors Tomas Philipson discuss President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign countries on ‘The Bottom Line.’

Canada and Mexico each announced tariffs on U.S. imports on Saturday in retaliation for U.S. President Donald Trump placing tariffs on the two countries.

Trump had signed an executive order authorizing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. Energy imported from Canada, including oil, natural gas and electricity, would be taxed at an additional 10%.

The White House cited the “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl” that it argues “constitutes a national emergency.” The tariffs will go into effect on Tuesday.

The tariffs, if sustained, could cause inflation to significantly worsen after Trump vowed on the campaign trail to lower the prices of groceries, gasoline, housing, autos and other goods, according to The Associated Press. The tariffs on America’s largest trading partners also risk harming the global economy.

Trump’s order also pledges to raise the rates if the countries retaliate, which could lead to even more severe economic disruption, but that did not prevent Canada and Mexico from doing just that.

“The actions taken today by the White House split us apart instead of bringing us together,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a news conference in announcing that America’s northern neighbor would place matching 25% tariffs on up to $155 billion in U.S. imports, including alcohol and fruit.

Trudeau expressed the betrayal that many Canadians are feeling, reminding Americans that Canadian troops fought alongside them in Afghanistan and helped respond to various disasters in the U.S., including wildfires in California and Hurricane Katrina.

“We were always there standing with you, grieving with you, the American people,” he said.

Trudeau warned of economic pain due to the tariffs and encouraged Canadians to “choose Canadian products and services rather than American ones.” Still, he expressed optimism in the enduring relationship between the two countries.

“It is going to have real consequences for people, for workers on both sides of our border,” he said. “We don’t want to be here. We didn’t ask for this, but we will not back down in standing up both for Canadians and for the incredible successful relationship between Canada and the United States.”

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum similarly ordered retaliatory tariffs.

“We categorically reject the White House’s slander that the Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention of meddling in our territory,” Sheinbaum wrote in a post on X, noting that she had instructed her economy secretary to implement a response that includes retaliatory tariffs and other measures.

“If the United States government and its agencies wanted to address the serious fentanyl consumption in their country, they could fight the sale of drugs on the streets of their major cities, which they don’t do, and the laundering of money that this illegal activity generates that has done so much harm to its population,” she added.

The premier of the Canadian province of British Columbia, David Eby, also called on residents to stop buying liquor from GOP-led states in the U.S. and said it was removing American alcohol brands from government store shelves in response to the tariffs.

China also responded to Trump’s tariffs, saying they will bring a complaint to the World Trade Organization and that they would take “corresponding countermeasures to resolutely safeguard our own rights and interests.”

“China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this,” China’s commerce ministry said in a statement.

A new analysis by the Budget Lab at Yale said the average U.S. household would lose the equivalent of $1,170 in income from Trump’s new tariffs, according to The Associated Press. Economic growth would slow and inflation would worsen, and the economic impact could become even worse with retaliation from other countries.

The order would also allow for tariffs on Canadian imports of under $800. Imports below that number, according to The Associated Press, are currently allowed to cross into the U.S. without customs and duties.

Democrats in Washington criticized Trump’s order, warning that any inflation in the near future would be the result of Trump’s actions.

“You’re worried about grocery prices. Don’s raising prices with his tariffs,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote on X.

“You’re worried about tomato prices. Wait till Trump’s Mexico tariffs raise your tomato prices,” he said in another post.

The Democrat leader added in another post: “You’re worried about car prices. Wait till Trump’s Canada tariffs raise your car prices.”

Chevron, Engine No. 1, GE Vernova announce partnership to power us data centers

Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.

Oil giant Chevron and Engine No. 1, an activist fund, are partnering up to build a new company that will develop scalable, reliable power solutions for the U.S.-based data centers running on U.S. natural gas.

The merger, in conjunction with GE Vernova, aims to establish the first multi-gigawatt-scale co-located power plant and data center.

A press release from Chevron outlines that the projects will serve co-located data centers in the U.S. Southeast, Midwest and West regions. These developments will deliver the equivalent of power for more than 3 million homes.

“We are proud to play our part in bringing to fruition President Trump’s vision for a new American golden age, powered by our enormous energy resources and unrivaled workforce,” Chevron CEO and chairman Mike Wirth said in a statement. “President Trump’s pro-American energy policies and commitment to energy and AI dominance give us the confidence to invest in projects that will create American jobs and strengthen our national security.”

This plan will initially bypass the existing transmission grid, reducing the risk of raising electricity costs, the company said.

Chris James, founder and chief investment officer of Engine No. 1, said, “Energy is the key to America’s AI dominance. By using abundant domestic natural gas to generate electricity directly connected to data centers, we can secure AI leadership, drive productivity gains across our economy and restore America’s standing as an industrial superpower. This partnership with Chevron and GE Vernova addresses the biggest energy challenge we face.”

The project will also integrate carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy resources. Currently, the target is to put the plan in action by the close of 2027 with the potential for expansion following that.

Jake and Logan Paul announce ‘the moment you’ve waited a decade for,’ but leave questions

Logan and Jake Paul will be streamed on HBO Max in two months — but it’s up for debate on what will actually be shown.

It appears the brothers teased a fight between the two of them that will take place on March 27, but such an announcement has yet to come.

The brothers each posted a graphic that shows the two of them facing off. They both posted on X, “The moment you’ve waited a decade for… March 27th on @StreamHBOMax.”

However, there has been no official announcement on a fight from Jake’s boxing promotion, Most Valuable Promotions. In fact, in a joint Instagram post, MVP was left off as a collaborator, while the brothers and HBO Max were in on the joint post.

It should be noted that Jake’s men’s care line, W, posted a poll on its Instagram story, asking fans, “Who do you think is winning?” However, one of the answers, in typical Paul-trolling fashion, was “Mike Tyson.”

Fox News Digital reached out to MVP for clarification, but did not receive a response.

Logan, the older of the two, said over the summer that he had reached out to Netflix after Mike Tyson was hospitalized, saying he would be willing to fight his brother in order to keep the Paul-Tyson bout on its original date of July 20.

“We actually ran it up the chain at Netflix,” Logan said on his podcast while then-Republican nominee Donald Trump was his guest.

Jake wound up fighting on that date anyway, but against Mike Perry — the Tyson bout was postponed until Nov. 15, with Jake winning both bouts.

The March 27 date does seem like an odd one to have a fight, considering that would be a Thursday. That date also marks MLB’s Opening Day, while it would be just three weeks out of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, where Logan, a WWE superstar, is very likely to be a part of.

Logan said on the aforementioned podcast that he and his brother have “never even sparred.” However, the two found each other in a highly-publicized tiff with one another in 2023, stemming from each of their energy drink brands.

Logan said on an August 2023 episode of his podcast that he had been threatened to be ejected from Jake’s fight against Nate Diaz at American Airlines Arena in Dallas earlier that month if he brought a PRIME bottle inside the venue. CELSIUS was the main sponsor for the fight.

The two shared harsh words for one another, but that led to a fanfare conspiracy theory that the two were simply just marketing a Paul vs. Paul boxing match.

Jake denied that to Fox News Digital roughly a month later, saying the beef was all real, but they managed to squash it all “in private.”

“Sometimes, brothers get into little bickering matches, and that’s just the name of the game. I think family goes through the bumps — there’s just 100 million people watching,” Jake quipped at the time.

Key Trump ally to announce run against leading Republican in ‘next couple of months’

Speaking to Republican Party members in Denton County Monday night, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, listed several Republicans he plans to purge from the Texas GOP for being insufficiently conservative.

Among those on Paxton’s list was Texas’ senior U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, one of the most powerful members of the Senate GOP.

The crowd erupted into loud applause as Paxton said, “The second thing we need to do, and I might play a role in this, is replace John Cornyn in the U.S. Senate.”

GARY PETERS, DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM TRUMP STATE, WON’T SEEK RE-ELECTION

The attorney general, who worked with the Trump team to file a lawsuit in December that successfully secured a court order stopping the Biden administration from continuing sales of border wall materials, has long hinted at a potential run to replace Cornyn.

“I can’t think of a single thing he’s accomplished for our state or even for the country,” Paxton said in a September 2023 interview on the Fox News Channel. And pointing to a possible Senate run in 2026, Paxton said, “Somebody needs to step up and run against this guy,” adding, “everything’s on the table for me.”

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Paxton gave more credence to the rumors, saying despite “loving what I’m doing … I’m looking potentially at the U.S. Senate.”

He shared that he is in talks with groups in Texas about a possible 2026 Senate run and will likely decide in the “next couple of months.”

Paxton claimed Cornyn does not represent the conservative values of Texans and accused him of not being an ally of Trump.

He has also regularly labeled Cornyn a “RINO,” a “Republican in name only” and an insult MAGA and “America First” Republicans have regularly used to criticize more mainstream or establishment members of the GOP.

Another source close to Paxton told Fox News Digital the attorney general “plans to spend the next few months meeting with voters, donors and grassroots activists across the state to gauge interest and decide how he can serve Texas best.”

The attorney general has faced his own set of challenges. In 2022, he defeated a primary effort by former Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush amid charges of bribery and corruption. In 2023, the Texas House of Representatives voted to impeach Paxton, but he was eventually acquitted of all charges by the state senate.

For his part, Cornyn, who has served in the Senate since 2002, has no intention of leaving the Senate. After serving in key GOP leadership positions, including chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, from 2009-2013, and Senate majority whip, from 2015-2019, he threw his hat in the ring to become the Senate majority leader in 2024, though he ultimately lost to South Dakota Sen. John Thune.

Cornyn, meanwhile, has said he will “absolutely” run again in 2026.

In recent months, he has also been a vocal supporter of Trump’s Cabinet picks and has slammed Democrats for delaying confirmations for key positions. In a speech on the Senate floor earlier this month, he said, “Our first and most urgent task is to confirm President Trump’s nominees for his Cabinet.”

With both considered leading Republicans and both holding significant support, any potential primary race between the two in the Lone Star State promises to be a dramatic — perhaps messy — showdown.

SENATE WILL ‘KEEP GRINDING THROUGH’ TO GET TRUMP TEAM CONFIRMED, JOHN THUNE SAYS

One of the primary questions that remains is whether the president would support his longtime ally Paxton or if he would, in the interest of preserving party unity, support a GOP establishment that has previously been criticized as “weak” and “ineffective.”

“The big question is whether Trump would support Paxton over Cornyn in a primary challenge,” Matt Mackowiak, a veteran Republican strategist and communications consultant based in Texas and Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital.

“Cornyn’s never lost a race. Cornyn has a lot of support around the state. He’s traveled all corners of the state for a long time and is very well known and very well liked,” said Mackowiak. “We haven’t had a Republican senator lose a primary since Richard Lugar in 2004.

“As much as people sometimes think it’s doable, think it’s easy, think it’s inevitable, it really just doesn’t happen. But I’m not saying it can’t happen. I’m not saying that Paxton can’t win. I think he certainly has a decent chance.”

Mackowiak added that if Paxton runs, it “would be a massive race with national consequences.”

“You’d have national activists and money involved on both sides,” he said. “It could end up being one of the biggest primaries of the cycle and probably the most significant statewide primary in Texas since Dewhurst-Cruz [when former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz defeated Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst for the GOP Senate nomination in 2012 en route to winning his first U.S. Senate election] or it may not materialize at all. And I think it’s going to be several months before we know.”
