This Week in #OHGov: The "Most Unlikeable" Candidate for Governor In Recent History Hits New Lows Outside the Knicks Locker Room

May 29, 2026

Columbus, Ohio- The Cleveland Cavaliers had a disappointing week as their season came to an end, but so did Vivek Ramaswamy. He had another terrible week with visits from politicians who helped cause hundreds of thousands of Ohioans to lose healthcare, a brutal rejection from his favorite basketball team, and was named the "most unlikeable" candidate for governor in recent memory.

"Most Unlikeable": A new piece by Cleveland.com's Brent Larkin named Ramaswamy the "most unlikeable" candidate for governor in recent memory. Larkin wrote that Ramaswamy is such a weak candidate that he threatens to "take down the entire ticket" when Ohioans reject his extreme scams in November.

Medicaid & Medicare Were "Mistakes" Caucus Meeting: This week, Ramaswamy welcomed the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services Administrator Dr. Oz to his home. Under Oz's tenure, over 300,000 Ohioans could lose access to Medicaid and Ohioans everywhere have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket. Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy has continued to dodge responsibility for calling Medicaid and Medicare "mistakes."

Locker Room Low: Vivek Ramaswamy was ridiculed online after attempting to get into the Knicks locker room to welcome his fellow New Yorkers to Ohio. He was quickly turned away by security, but has once again gained national attention for exactly the wrong move on the court and on social media. We'll be keeping a close eye out for him courtside at Knicks games this fall- just a short private jet ride away!
