The World is Vivek’s Oyster, But the Ohio Governor’s Mansion Isn’t

The World is Vivek's Oyster, But the Ohio Governor's Mansion Isn't

July 21, 2026

Columbus, Ohio - Vivek Ramaswamy has spent the past few weeks traveling via his private jet to Paris, Geneva, Atlanta, Hilton Head, and, as of today, Aspen. Ramaswamy has only spent 40% of the year in Ohio while Ohioans have spent 100% of the year fighting higher costs of living.

Check out where Ramaswamy has been over the past few weeks alone:

• After making a brief public appearance on July 4th, Ramaswamy hopped on a flight to Paris to celebrate America's 250th. He didn't stop there and made the most of his trip halfway across the globe by continuing on to Geneva, Switzerland.

• Just days after his weeklong getaway to Paris and Geneva, Ramaswamy was caught jetsetting to Atlanta at the same time as the World Cup Semifinal. Ramaswamy has a clear case of FOMO. Why watch the World Cup in Ohio when you can fly to see it in person?

• Two days ago, Ramaswamy took a flight to Hilton Head on a luxury vacation that many Ohioans would be grateful to afford. As if the past few weeks haven't been enough, Ramaswamy is now in Aspen, Colorado, taking a hard-earned vacation from his vacation(s).

"There's nothing wrong with a getaway now and then, but Vivek Ramaswamy's penchant for private aviation to exotic destinations has proven to Ohioans over and over that he has no interest in working for anyone but himself," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "Ramaswamy even said Ohio is 'not the best' state. How can we trust him to fight for Ohio's working families or lower costs when he is never here?"
