Ramaswamy cruising toward Ohio GOP governor nomination after Ohio AG drops out

Vivek Ramaswamy is cruising toward the Ohio GOP gubernatorial nomination after the Ohio attorney general drops out.

"Columbus needs re-engineering, not demolition," Dave Yost wrote in a letter to supporters on Friday. "Sherrod Brown and the risky progressive ideas of his party will unwind all of the good that the last 15 years of Republican leadership has brought. This is a time to protect Ohio, not a time for a family squabble." 

Ramaswamy released a statement about Yost dropping out.

"Congratulations to Dave on running a thoughtful campaign," Ramaswamy said in a statement. "He has served Ohio with great dedication, and I am confident he will continue to play an important role in shaping the future of our state and our nation."

The Ohio GOP has endorsed Ramaswamy.

Yost hasn't formally endorsed him yet.
