Vivek Ramaswamy’s Four Worst Moments of 2026

Vivek Ramaswamy's Four Worst Moments of 2026

February 2, 2026

Columbus, Ohio- The first month of 2026 is behind us, and it was a tough one for billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy.

First, it was revealed that his personal bodyguard was at the center of a massive drug trafficking scandal and it took Ramaswamy weeks to fire him. Reporting later revealed Ramaswamy's security firm was operating illegally in Ohio due to the fact that they were not licensed in the state, causing the firm to fold within days.

Then, in another example of just how wrong Ramaswamy is for Ohio's working families. Ramaswamy said Medicaid and Medicare were a "mistake," despite the fact that the absence of either would skyrocket health care prices for Ohioans.

Ramamswamy followed this up by unveiling his grand plan for hardworking Ohioans struggling with rising costs: just make more money.

And if it wasn't already clear that Ramaswamy neither cares about nor has any solutions for the challenges Ohioans are going through, he told Fox News that costs aren't actually rising and Ohioans have just "perceived" that everything from food to utilities to clothing is more expensive.

It's no surprise from a politician who spent more than $555,000 on private jet flights in the most recent campaign finance filing period.

"Vivek Ramaswamy opened 2026 by flying over our state in his private jet lecturing Ohioans about how rising costs are only in our imagination," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "We look forward to Ramaswamy continuing to run on his platform of calling Ohioans lazy while making it clear he doesn't understand what working families are going through."
