Vivek Ramaswamy on Ohio: "NOT THE BEST STATE"

April 30, 2026

"I can't say it's the best state."

Columbus, Ohio- In newly unearthed footage, candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy said that Ohio wasn't "the best state" in another comment revealing his dim view of Ohioans. Ramaswamy previously called Ohio workers "lazy" and said affordability is just a "buzzword" as Ohioans see gas prices surge close to $5 per gallon.

"One thing all Ohioans can agree on is that Ohio is the best state. We are proud of our state's natural beauty, unique communities, and of course, our winning college football teams. Ramaswamy does not understand Ohio. His decision to run a campaign for governor that focuses on how Ohio isn't the best state and our workers are lazy highlights how everything he says is a scam designed to raise our costs and line the pockets of billionaires like himself," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer.
