MISSING: Ohio Gubernatorial Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Last Seen On a Private Jet to Paris, France

July 9, 2026

Paris, France - It's election season in Ohio, and Vivek Ramaswamy is nowhere to be found in the Buckeye State. He was most recently spotted boarding his private jet en route to Paris, France, as Ohioans celebrated the Fourth of July. Ramaswamy's next public scheduled event is July 14th.

Throughout his run for governor, Ramaswamy has treated Ohio like a flyover state while calling our workers lazy and Ohio "not the best" state. In 2025, he totaled over $780,000 in campaign jet spending and recently upgraded to an even nicer private jet. Ramaswamy's private jet frequently takes him overseas, including international trips to Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, and even the United Kingdom.

"Less than four months from Election Day, Vivek Ramaswamy is nowhere to be found. He skipped town on the Fourth of July to take his private jet to Europe instead of celebrating with Ohioans," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "If scam artist Vivek Ramaswamy can't even stand alongside Ohioans on the Fourth of July, how can we trust him to stand with our state's working families?"
