Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is poised to appoint Lt. Governor Jon Husted to the Senate seat vacated by JD Vance, with a public announcement expected soon.
DeWine indicated he would only appoint someone who could win the 2025 Republican primary, highlighting the strategic political considerations surrounding the vacancy.
Husted's ambition to succeed DeWine as governor in 2026 was discussed in a meeting with Trump, but no commitments were made on either race.
The appointment comes after a late push from Vivek Ramaswamy, who initially withdrew from consideration but expressed renewed interest in the Senate seat.
