CINCINNATI, Ohio — In a significant political endorsement, former presidential candidate, entrepreneur, and author Vivek Ramaswamy has thrown his support behind Tim O’Hara’s congressional bid in Ohio’s Second Congressional District. Ramaswamy, known for his outspoken views on immigration and adherence to the rule of law, praised O’Hara’s stance on the issue. Ramaswamy is stated to be on the shortlist of names to be President Donald Trump’s running mate in the November election.
Ramaswamy, the child of legal immigrants, emphasized the importance of upholding laws regarding immigration. He asserted, “Your first act of entering this country cannot break the law. We need mass deportations starting now.” Contrary to accusations of racism or xenophobia, Ramaswamy framed his position as a commitment to the rule of law.
O’Hara, who has signed Ramaswamy’s American Truth pledge, has aligned himself with these principles. Ramaswamy expressed his pride in endorsing O’Hara for Congress, citing their shared dedication to upholding the rule of law regarding immigration.
The endorsement from Ramaswamy adds momentum to O’Hara’s campaign, which has focused on issues of law and order, immigration reform, and economic revitalization in Ohio’s Second Congressional District. With the backing of Ramaswamy, O’Hara’s bid for Congress gains increased attention and credibility within the political landscape of Ohio.
